Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

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

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

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

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

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.
