As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.

It takes all sorts of in and outdoor schooling to get adapted to my kind of fooling.

If you want a new idea, read an old book.

He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.

There is nothing we can do that will bring us more in the way of rewards than the daily striving to become better adjusted, happier, more productive human beings. It’s a lifetime job and worth every minute we spend on it.

There are few things more pathetic than those who have lost their curiosity and sense of adventure, and who no longer care to learn.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

Personal growth is not a matter of learning new information but of unlearning old limits.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

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

Eat to live, and not live to eat.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl of be found in the dark folds of life.

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.

There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.

The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
