Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

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

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

Where there is love there is life.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
