For I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be impatient, but we should confidently obey the eternal rhythm.

Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean sea.

Go as far as you can. Go further than you can!

In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.

Once more I realized to what an extent earthly happiness is made to the measure of man. It is not a rare bird which we must pursue at one moment in heaven, at the next in our minds. Happiness is a domestic bird found in our own courtyards.

Be sure to live up to your reputation for honesty and goodness, because many souls who believe you to be honest and good have placed themselves in your hands.

We have our brush and colors - paint Paradise and in we go.
