I get the most joy in life out of music.

[I] must seek in the stars that which was denied [to me] on earth.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.

One is born into a herd of buffaloes and must be glad if one is not trampled under foot before one's time.

I know that it is a hopeless undertaking to debate about fundamental value judgements. For instance, if someone approves, as a goal, the extirpation of the human race from the earth, one cannot refute such a viewpoint on rational grounds. But if there is agreement on certain goals and values, one can argue rationally about the means by which these objectives may be obtained.

Whatever your problems in math are, I assure mine are greater.
