We are always getting ready to live, but never living. Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.
Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love. You win more friends in life by being interested in others than trying to get others interested in you. The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and the determination to attain it. The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
