Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.

If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.

If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. They will make note of this and not remain in your debt long.

The 'great' commitment is so much easier than the ordinary everyday one.

I never discuss discussions.
