What we love intensely or for a long time we are likely to bring within the citadel, and to assert as part of oneself.

If taking vitamins doesn't keep you healthy enough, try more laughter: The most wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed.

Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.

Swallow a toad in the morning and you will encounter nothing more disgusting the rest of the day.

It must be admitted that there are some parts of the soul which we must entirely paralyse before we can live happily in this world.
