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.

We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.
