When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

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

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
