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

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win.

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.

The better part of one's life consists in his friendships.
