Let us be well persuaded that everyone of us possesses happiness in proportion to his virtue and wisdom, and according as he acts in obedience to their suggestion.

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.

Plant the seeds of desire in the field of imagination to grow the harvest of invention.

Going to see plays isn't what you people should do. Try looking at yourselves a little more often and see what gray lives you all lead. How much of what you say is unnecessary.

For him who has no concentration there is no tranquility.

If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.

Growing up, I liked all the stuff that everyone else was listening to, like Motown, but the biggest group of all was The Beatles.

I am also a Kentucky Colonel and an Honorary Mayor of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, among other things.

The darkness that had come in from the Mediterranean covered the city so detested by the procurator.

Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard Some do it with a bitter look Some with a flattering word The coward does it with a kiss The brave man with a sword

Don't listen to me. I'm a maniac, but the voice in your head, ask it "Is it right to kill 200 million animals simply for fun?". What did it say? Right. There you go.

Fain would I, but I dare not; I dare, and yet I may not; I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
