When we take our advantage unrelentingly, then we make war.
When the torrent sweeps the man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.
We must go on, because we can’t turn back.
We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.
We do not go to cowards for tender dealing; there is nothing so cruel as panic; the man who has least fear for his own carcase, has most time to consider others.
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
To equip a dull, respectable person with wings would be but to make a parody of an angel.
To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.
To be overwise is to ossify; and the scruple-monger ends by standing stockstill.
