The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.

No man is born unto himself alone; who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.

So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
