Youth ends when egotism does; maturity begins when one lives for others Picture Quote #1

The greatest threat to our world and its peace comes from those who want war, who prepare for it, and who, by holding out vague promises of future peace or by instilling fear of foreign aggression, try to make us accomplices to their plans Picture Quote #1

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity Picture Quote #1

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness Picture Quote #1

All suicides have the responsibility of fighting against the temptation of suicide. Every one of them knows very well in some corner of his soul that suicide, though a way out, is rather a mean and shabby one, and that it is nobler and finer to be conquered by life than to fall by one’s own hand Picture Quote #1

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value Picture Quote #1

If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do Picture Quote #1

Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish Picture Quote #1

It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard Picture Quote #1

He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. He had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. Seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts Picture Quote #1

For mountain and stream, tree and leaf, root and blossom, every form in nature is echoed in us and originates in the soul whose being is eternity and is hidden from us but none the less gives itself to us for the most part in the power of love and creation Picture Quote #1

A home isn’t just a roof over our heads. A home is a place where we feel loved and where we love others. It’s a place we belong. Love is what makes a home, not the contents inside the house or the number on the door. It’s the people waiting for us across the threshold, the people who will take us in their arms after a ad day and kiss us good night and good morning everyday for the rest of our lives Picture Quote #1

I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves Picture Quote #1

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do Picture Quote #1

The man of power is ruined by power, the man of money by money, the submissive man by subservience, the pleasure seeker by pleasure Picture Quote #1

No permanence is ours, we are a wave that flows to fit whatever form it finds Picture Quote #1

Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve Picture Quote #1

I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me like my own blood Picture Quote #1
