We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!

Do things sound better in your head before you say them, or do you even run them through there first?

All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.

Your fervent wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain.

Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.

Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut
