It is not the body, nor the personality that is the true self. The true self is eternal. Even on the point of death we can say to ourselves, "my true self is free. I cannot be contained."

The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.

I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.

A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.
