To dwell on the things that depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone.

The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Three great forces rule the world: stupidity$$$ fear and greed.

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with joy are goodness$$$ beauty$$$ and truth.

The only thing that you absolutely have to know$$$ is the location of the library.

If people are good only because they fear punishment$$$ and hope for reward$$$ then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Look deep into nature$$$ and then you will understand everything better.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

We live for books. A sweet mission in this world dominated by disorder and decay.
