Plunge boldly into the thick of life!

There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one's self on lies and fables.

Experience is only half of experience.

The suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.

No doubt you are right... there would be far less suffering amongst mankind if men... did not employ their imaginations so assiduously in recalling the memory of past sorrow, instead of bearing their present lot with equanimity.

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.

Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.
