True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.

The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.

To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.

"It's a question of discipline," the little prince told me later on. "When you've finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet."

We don’t ask to be eternal beings. We only ask that things do not lose all their meaning.

The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
