The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.

I was a personality before I became a person.

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don't know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.
