Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue? I have not seen the case in which his strength would be sufficient.

Please stop waiting for a better and more appropriate time to become happy and focus on the moment you live in. Happiness is not an arrival, it is the journey itself. Many people seek for happiness above the height of human beings, some below. Yet, happiness is exactly at the exact height of human beings.

He who is really good can never be unhappy. He who is really wise can never be perplexed. He who is really brave is never afraid.

A common man marvels at uncommon things. A wise man marvels at the commonplace.

If you know, say you know. If you don't know, say you don't know.

Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.
