It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls. A man should stand around where he can hear the call!

There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.

Don't ever confuse motion with progress.

We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.

Every man has a sane spot somewhere.

You can kill the body, but not the spirit.

And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.
