Uno non può possedere capacità più grande o più piccola della padronanza di se stesso. - Leonardo da Vinci

The earth is not in the centre of the Sun's orbit nor at the centre of the universe, but in the centre of its companion elements, and united with them. And any one standing on the moon, when it and the sun are both beneath us, would see this our earth and the element of water upon it just as we see the moon, and the earth would light it as it lights us.

He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.
