Life should be great rather than long.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

First, then, God, being all-just, wishes to do justice; being all-wise, knows what justice is; being all-powerful, can do justice. Why then injustice?

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

I am not young enough to know everything.

Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Sow a thought and you get an act; Sow an act and you get a habit; Sow a habit and you get a character; Sow a character and you get a destiny.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
