Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it.
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others.
Take your life in your own hands, and no one to blame.
The important thing is not what one is born with, but what they do with the gift of life.
Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
