The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

Experience, travel – these are an education in themselves.

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”

“Stay away from what might have been and look at what will be.”

Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength.

For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

The important thing is not what one is born with, but what they do with the gift of life.
