Time is the best killer.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Only he who accepts clashes and conflicts in life, loves life.

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

The historian looks backward. In the end he also believes backward.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often 'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.'

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

Not all things are to be discovered; many are better concealed.

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

To one extent, if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

All of us are products of our childhood.

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
