You need not be proud of me.... I'm only being active till you can be again--it isn't such a great desire on my part to serve theworld and I'll fall back into habits of sloth quite easily!

...real prosperity can only come when everybody prospers.

You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.

I have a great belief in spiritual force, but I think we have to realize that spiritual force alone has to have material force with it so long as we live in a material world. The two together make a strong combination.

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

The most unhappy people in the world are those who face the days without knowing what to do with their time. But if you have more projects than you have time for, you are not going to be an unhappy person. This is as much a question of having imagination and curiosity as it is of actually making plans.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.
