A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.

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

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.

Human beings must always be on the watch for the coming of wonders.
