If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain.

I am a true laborer: I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man’s happiness, glad of other men’s good, content with my harm.

I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds; and I very rarely change it.

We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent coannihilation. This may well be mankind's last chance between chaos and community.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.

Love means to love that which is unloveable. Otherwise it is no virtue at all.

One love, one heart, one destiny.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

There is no disguise which can for long conceal love where it exists or simulate it where it does not.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.

Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.

The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual; and, exhibited in the lives of many, it continues the true source of national vigor and strength. Help from without is often enfeebling in its effects, but help from within invariably invigorates.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

Never cross a man, not afraid to die.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Conquer yourself rather than the world.
