A novel worth reading is an education of the heart.

You can't learn style. Style, I think, is in your DNA.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.
