Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts, of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

My anger is more likely to do me more harm than your wrong.

The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not everyone's greed.

If you feel pain, you're alive. If you feel other people's pain, you're a human being.

While there's life, there's hope.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
