Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
