Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a general natural law

Early to bed and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.

Good means not merely not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.

The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.

Your inner world has its own taste, has its own fragrance, has its own light. And it is utterly silent.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.

Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.

Everything excellent is as difficult as it is rare.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

It is not the strength, but the duration, of great sentiments that makes great men.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens

Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few!
