Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

Let everything you do be done in love.

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

There is no deeper desire than the desire of being revealed.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

A lot of good things don't get made because of too much thinking.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Patience is also a form of action.
