... most people are dead, and none of them seem to mind it. One hears a great many complaints about life, doesn't one? And there are people I know who would certainly grumble -- however dead they were -- if there were anything to grumble at.

it is the possibilities which are the most terrible things in life.

Time indeed has very little to do with living except at its beginning or near its end.

it is better in the long run to be cheated than to cheat. I have learned that there is no middle way.

No emergency excuses you from exercising tolerance.

death ... is not a great affair! Think - it happens once only - to each of us - as birth does. What do you know about being born? that - and no more - will you know about the act of death.

It is a very dangerous thing to have an idea that you will not practice.
