It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it – always.
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
