The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

We shall never have more time. We have, and always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until tomorrow. Keep going... Concentrate on something useful.

Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approximately all, that the person of average culture is supposed to have read, and that not to have read is a social sin? If such a being does exist, surely he is an old, a very old man.

The price of justice is eternal publicity.

Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.

To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

My happiness is very fragile.
