All the ill that is in us comes from fear, and all the good from love.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

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

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

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