The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest.

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.

You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.

People see God every day; they just don't recognize Him.

Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.

You never find yourself until you face the truth.

There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
