Our ability to achieve happiness and success depends on the strength of our wings

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded upon a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.

Helping one person might not change the world,but it could change the world for one person.
