What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.

Conceit spoils the finest genius… and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius.

The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain forever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I transgress it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.

The vaccine is a filthy substance and it is foolish to expect that one kind of filth can be removed by another.

Conscientious objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.

The man who earns a million, but destroys his health in the process is not really a success.

The cure is, is worse than the disease.

Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same man is not equal to himself on different days.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me.

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its own storms, it has its tides, and in its depths, it has its pearls too.

Everything good is costly and the development of the personality is one of the most costly of all things. It will cost you your innocence, your illusions, your certainty.

The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.

Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today.

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

A scepter snatched with an unruly hand must be as boisterously maintained as gained; and he that stands upon a slippery place makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.

Here must all distrust be left behind; all cowardice must be ended.

There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.
