“Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that.”
“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.”
“True genius without heart is a thing of nought - for not great understanding alone, not intelligence alone, nor both together, make genius. Love! Love! Love! that is the soul of genius.”
“Love can neither be bought nor sold - it's only price is love”
“By my soul, I can neither eat, drink, nor sleep; nor, what's still worse, love any woman in the world but her.”
“Are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?”
