It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.

Learning is not child’s play; we cannot learn without pain.

Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.
