Secrecy is the element of all goodness even virtue, even beauty is mysterious.

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness.

The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
