How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.

The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion.

It's not that you have to hate people to survive in this world. You just have to love yourself more.

The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach.
