Doubt is the origin of wisdom

I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Criticize the act, not the person.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

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

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

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.

You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

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

Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.

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