“True greatness merely refuses to change in the face of bad actions against one—and a truly great person loves his fellows because he understands them.”

“TWO RULES FOR HAPPY LIVING
        
     “1. Be able to experience anything.
    
     “2. Cause only those things which others are able to experience easily.”

“Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of Mankind.”

“The first principle of my own philosophy is that wisdom is meant for anyone who wishes to reach for it. It is the servant of the commoner and king alike and should never be regarded with awe.”

“Knowledge itself is certainty. Knowledge is not data.”

“We can stand in the sun only so long as we do not let the deeds of others bring the darkness.”

“Living itself is an art form.”

“Happiness, then, could be defined as the overcoming of obstacles toward a desirable goal. Any desirable goal, if closely inspected, will be found to be a survival goal.”

“Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.”

“Some people are themselves a work of art because they have mastered the small practical techniques of living that give them a quality adequate to produce an emotional impact even before anyone knows their name or what they do.”
