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

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

The world shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Be modest in speech, but excel in action.

All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
