Leopold Schefer
German Poet, Novelist and Composer
"Do not envy the violet the dew-drop or glitter of a sunbeam; do not envy the bee the plant from which he draws some sweets. Do not envy man the little goods he possesses; for the earth is for him the plant from which he obtains some sweets, and his mind is the dew-drop which the world colors for an instant."
"For present grief there is always a remedy; however much thou sufferest, hope; hope is the greatest happiness of man."
