The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

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

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

Living with regrets is like driving a car that only moves in reverse.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
