Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived. And with each day, my treasure will grow, not diminish.

An old belief is like an old shoe. We so value its comfort that we fail to notice the hole in it.

First God created time; then God created man that man might, in the course of time, perfect himself; then God decided that He'd better create eternity.

Know thyself, or at least keep renewing the acquaintance.

Somewhere between the honest truth and the deceptive lie is the deceptive truth and the honest lie.

To accept reality is only to encourage it.

Always carry with you a little reasonable doubt, should you meet someone who needs to be found innocent.
