The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest part and the possessive impulses the smallest.
Sometimes your need to say something is greater than what you have to say.
For your brother and my sister no sooner met, but they looked; no sooner looked, but they loved; no sooner loved, but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.
Be a function of your values rather than a function of the impulse or desire of any given moment.
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man’s actions.
