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

I believe in the power of education and opportunity because I've seen it work.

Information is not knowledge.

The Superior Man is aware of Righteousness, the inferior man is aware of advantage.

There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story.

Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see it.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects.
