But what is happiness? If we consider what the function of man is, we find that happiness is a virtuous activity of the soul.

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.

I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously.

I might even end up a rock and roll god, it might turn into a steady job.

The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.
