When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly. (on not perfectionism to put things off) .

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

The modern world is filled with men who hold dogmas so strongly that they do not even know they are dogmas.

The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.

I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.

ONCE remove the old arena of theological quarrels, and you will throw open the whole world to the most horrible, the most hopeless, the most endless, the most truly interminable quarrels; the untheological quarrels.
