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

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

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Success is the process itself.
