In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.

The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.

True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Don't criticize what you can't understand.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

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

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

If you don't want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.

I know I am but mortal and so therewhilst prepare myself for death, whensoever it shall please God to send it.

Desire is the very essence of man.

I have had good experience and trial of this world...I know what it is to be a subject, what to be a sovereign, what to have good neighbours, and sometimes meet evil willers. I have found treason in trust, seen great benefits little regarded.

Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

Take care of the pieces well. The whole will take care of itself.
