A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest.
Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.
Sometimes I would rather that people take away years from my life Than take away a moment.
There are two kinds of talents, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil.
We must change in order to survive.
What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.
When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.
You never find yourself until you face the truth.
