Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

In quietness the soul expands.

'Tis never too late to be wise.

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

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

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.

Love is really... a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
