Doubt is the beginning of wisdom

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

Adventure is worthwhile.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human.

Disease often tells its secrets in a casual parenthesis.

Pain and suffering, they are a secret. Kindness and love, they are a secret. But I have learned that kindness and love can pay for pain and suffering.

I think it's a very bad idea for someone to start writing for a readership.

We are living at an extraordinary time in human history. And for many of us things are great. Things are great for me.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

It's only knitting and it's one of the few times in your life when there are no bad consequences to a mistake.

I hope you do not think me prone to any iteration of nuptials.
