The highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

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

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

It is not enough to know your craft — you have to have feeling.

Love is really... a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

In quietness the soul expands.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.
