Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

Hard work, disciplined habits, modesty in living, contentment and cheerfulness.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

Unsatisfied desire is in itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

It would please me best if, at the last, a marble stone shall record that this Queen having lived such and such a time, lived and died a virgin.

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

We think too much and feel too little.

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
