The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire

Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.

Nobody can fall so low unless he has a great depth. If such a thing can happen to a man, it challenges his best and highest on the other side; that is to say, this depth corresponds to a potential height, and the blackest darkness to a hidden light.

It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.

The healthy man does not torture others.
