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

Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Stand through life firm as a rock in the sea, undisturbed and unmoved.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.

When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit.
