Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!

It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

Intelligence alone is not nearly enough when it comes to acting wisely.

Suffering is part and parcel of extensive intelligence and a feeling heart.

The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.

Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.

You see I kept asking myself then: why am I so stupid that if others are stupid—and I know they are—yet I won't be wiser?

Your life isn't behind you

The arctic loneliness of age.

Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.

Teamwork is not a preference, it is a requirement.

We are born male. We must learn to be men.

Seize the moment of happiness... love and be loved.

Virginians! With me! Who will come with me!?

Love is the real work of your life. It is your spiritual path. It is the key to your growth and evolution.
