Klopstock was questioned regarding the meaning of a passage in his poem. He replied, " God and I both knew what it meant once; now God alone knows."

Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never.

Unfortunately, goodness and honor are rather the exception than the rule among exceptional men, not to speak of geniuses.
