The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart

Nothing we learn in this world is ever wasted.

Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself.

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

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
