Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

What you think about day and night forms your character and personality.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
