Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.

Be curious, not judgmental.

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.

It is always advisable to perceive clearly our ignorance.

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.

Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.

Doubt is the origin of wisdom

All imperfection is easier to tolerate if served up in small doses.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.

Be silent or let thy words be worth more than silence.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

If you buy what you do not need, you will need what you cannot buy.

Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.

An understanding of the natural world is a source of not only great curiosity, but great fulfilment.
