No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.

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 journey I'm taking is inside me. Just like blood travels down veins, what I'm seeing is my inner self and what seems threatening is just the echo of the fear in my heart.

Live the best life in every moment.

History is an agreed-upon fiction.

I don't watch something just because it's a specific genre.

He who does not tire, tires adversity.

Cooking certain dishes, like roast pork, reminds me of my mother.

I'm a historian in my own mind.

God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.

Whatever you come across- go beyond

And part of growin’ up is learnin’ to see the world through other men’s eyes.
