Hermann Hesse quotes ~
• “I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”
• “It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.”
• “The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire.”
• “There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”
• “To study history one must know in advance that one is attempting something fundamentally impossible, yet necessary and hightly important. To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.” Magister Ludi (The Glass Bead Game)

John Heywood quotes ~
• “Many hands make light work.”
• “Let the world slide, let the world go; A fig for care, and a fig for woe! If I can't pay, why I can owe, And death makes equal the high and low.”
• “If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
• “A hard beginning maketh a good ending.”
• “The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.”
• “A penny for your thought.”
• “When all candles be out, all cats be grey.”
• “What man love me, love my dog.”
• “A hair of the dog that bit us last night.”
• “Rome was not built in one day.”
• “Beggars should not be choosers.”
• “Serve me, serve thee, one good turn asks another.”
• “When the sun shines make hay, which is to say,
Take time when time comes, lest time steal away.”
• “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart,”
