Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

The aim of life is self-development. To realize ones nature perfectly ? that is what each of us is here for.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.

Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
