The hope of free people in a frightened world is the values which people put ahead of inventions when their backs are to the wall. These values are beauty, truth, goodness and having a faith, all of which are bombproof.

We cannot hoard life as we can money. When a person tries to be a miser of his health, he usually makes himself miserable. Mental talents, if buried and not used, tend to deteriorate. Whoever would save his memory by not using it will lose it.

Let us not bankrupt our today's by paying interest on the regrets of yesterday and borrowing in advance the troubles of tomorrow.

What makes greatness is starting something that lives after you.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.

The test of our religion is whether it fits us to meet emergencies. A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.
