A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and l'll tell you what you believe.

Knowledge is one of your most excellent defenses.

Be so kind in life that when people meet you, they believe you were created by God, not shaped by society.

Let it offend you that someone else could be handed your days and turn them into something greater.

We know what we are, but not what we may be.

You will be forgotten either way. So live in such a manner that, while you remain, you belong to yourself.

People will kill you over time. And how they'll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases like 'be realistic'.

Lock yourself in a room and study until you collapse, true brilliance comes from obsession!

They insulted me in seventy lines

reach their station.

Do not be sorry. Be better.

The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose: it will defend itself.

For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his own soul.

Instead of fighting the world, kill your ego.
