Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.
