I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.

Only in the darkness can you see the stars.

Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.

A man can’t ride your back unless it’s bent.

The proof that you know something is that you are able to teach it.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.

For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.

"Man's "progress" is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning"

"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

"You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered."

No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up

Happiness doesn’t always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

Given the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions? Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them.

Proper utilization of time is so important. While we have this body, and especially this amazing human brain, I think every minute is something precious.

Never give up. No matter what is going on. Never give up. 

You must understand that even if your adversaries seem to be harming you, in the end their destrucive activity will turn against them.
