I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.
Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.
The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine—and shadows will fall behind you.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
