That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do what is right.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’

If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t walk run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

Can you really explain to a fish what it’s like to walk on land? One day on land is worth a thousand years of talking about it, and one day running a business has exactly the same kind of value.

Heaven is the work of the best and kindest men and women. Hell is the work of prigs, pedants and professional truth-tellers. The world is an attempt to make the best of Heaven and Hell.

The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.

If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.

We have not so good a right to hate any as our Friend.

Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor, and fictitious benevolence.

Covetousness is the greatest of monsters, as well as the root of all evil.

What you don’t do can be a destructive force.

Goodness is the only investment which never fails.

The French are wiser than they seem, and the Spaniards seem wiser than they are.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
