What I must do is all that concerns me,

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.

To be great is to be misunderstood.

My life is for itself and not for a spectacle.

A mind might ponder its thought for ages, and not gain so much self-knowledge as the passion of love shall teach it in a day.

The student is to read history actively not passively.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.

You would compliment a coxcomb doing a good act, but you would not praise an angel.

I mean, I hate to gloat, but I'm extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.

An inconvenience is an unrecognized opportunity.

Creation is ready to serve you, if you just be you.

Art is a word which summarizes the quality of communication.

Close the day with prayer so that you may have a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares.

Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

I always get nervous when people start talking about legacies.
