To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.

Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.

Nothing is as easy as it looks.

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

If you buy what you do not need, you will need what you cannot buy.

If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?

You can best serve civilization by being against what usually passes for it.

Be curious, not judgmental.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Whatever the mind of man creates, should be controlled by man's character

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.

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

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

The greatest power we have is the power of choice.

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.

All great achievements require time.
