The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed

Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.

Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work. It is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment.
