"Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well."

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."

"The secret to humor is surprise."

"Happiness is a state of activity."
