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

Embrace your solitude and love it. Endure the pain it causes, and try to sing out with it.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

The universe doesn't allow perfection.

You just can't live in that negative way, make way for the positive day.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
