Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, and prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is the superstructure of happiness.

The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.
