The unfinished is nothing.

Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.

The unfinished is nothing.

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

How true it is that our destinies are decided by nothings and that a small imprudence helped by some insignificant accident, as an acorn is fertilized by a drop of rain, may raise the trees on which perhaps we and others shall be crucified.

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.

Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve a victory over other people, you will conquer yourself.
