I think periods of browsing during which no occupation is imposed from without are important in youth because they give time for the formation of these apparently fugitive but really vital impressions.

The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Human nature being what it is, people will insist upon getting some pleasure out of life.

Meantime, the world in which we exist has other aims. But it will pass away, burnt up in the fire of its own hot passions; and from its ashes will spring a new and younger world, full of fresh hope, woth the light of morning in its eyes.

Life and hope for the world are to be found only in the deeds of love.

I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of WORK, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in the organised diminution of work.

The secrets to happiness include enterprise, exploration of one's interests and the overcoming of obstacles.
