I grow old … I grow old … I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.

I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say.

Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.

April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.

The journey, Not the destination matters.

For them that think death's honesty won't fall upon them naturally life sometimes must get lonely.

Your best work always seems to have been done by someone else.

Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

The new is threatening to those who have mastered the old.

Happiness isn't a constant. You get fleeting glimpses. You have to fight for those moments, but they make it all worth it.
