Maria Von Ebner-Eschenbach, or Marie von Ebner-Eschenbachová, Marie Freifrau von Ebner-Eschenbach

In youth we learn; in age we understand.

Imaginary evils are incurable.

Exceptions are not always the proof of the old rule; they can also be the harbinger of a new one.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.
