Reason and justice tell me there's more love for humanity in electricity and steam than in chastity and vegetarianism.

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

You must trust and believe in people, or life becomes impossible.

If you are afraid of loneliness do not marry.

He who would travel happily must travel light.

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end.

Just because you are happy it does not mean that the day is perfect, but that you have looked beyond its imperfections.
