Bitterness is the coward's revenge on the world for having been hurt.

Results are nothing; the energies which produce them and which again spring from them are everything.

The soul helps the body$$$ and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.

Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them$$$ if only to avoid them.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task$$$ go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

I don't believe in Heaven or anything. But I want to be the kind of person that qualifies for entry anyway.

Telling me I can do anything I want is like pulling the plug out of the bath and then telling the water it can go anywhere it wants. Try it$$$ and see what happens.

I'm very good at the past. It's the present I can't understand.

I hate paying taxes. But I love the civilization they give me.

It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
