Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

What you think about day and night forms your character and personality.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

The truth is the light and light is the truth.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

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

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
