The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

The whole structure leans dangerously towards the miraculous.

We never live; we are always in the expectation of living

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

Life isn't perfect, but it has perfect moments.

Defeat is not bitter unless you swallow it.

Life needs to be more than just solving problems every day. You need to be excited about the future.
