The tragic evils of our life are so commonly unintentional. We did not start out for that poor, cheap goal. That aim was not in our minds at all....Look to the road you are walking on. He who picks up one end of [a] stick picks up the other.He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads to.

It is cynicism and fear that freeze life; it is faith that thaws it out, releases it, sets it free.

The stars are not so strange as the mind that studies them, analyzes their light, and measures their distance.

Happiness is not mostly pleasure, it is mostly victory.

It is magnificent to grow old, if one keeps young.

Every failure can be considered as a tragedy or a chance to learn something. The latter is healthier

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.
