Additional quotes by Johann Kaspar Lavater

I am prejudiced in favour of him who can solicit boldly, without imprudence. He has faith in humanity — he has faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to give grandly can ask nobly and with boldness.

He alone is an acute observer, who can observe minutely without being observed.

The prudent sees only the difficulties, the bold only the advantages, of a great enterprise; the hero sees both, diminishes those, makes these preponderate, and conquers.

Who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius among those who study nature. - Johann Kaspar Lavater
