“I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.”

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men.

The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again.

Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
