It is best to rise from life as from a banquet neither thirsty nor drunken.

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.

The bigger the humbug, the better people will like it.

This is the very ecstasy of love.
