The minds of different generations are as impenetrable one by the other as are the monads of Leibniz.

It is not events and the things one sees and enjoys that produce happiness, but a state of mind which can endow events with its own quality, and we must hope for the duration of this state rather than the recurrence of pleasurable events.

Information is not culture. In the mind of a truly educated person, facts are organized, and they make up a living world in the image of the world of reality.

Our minds have unbelievable power over our bodies.
life men mind
If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.

Experience is valuable only when it has brought suffering and when the suffering has left its mark upon both body and mind.

Every ten years you should delete from your mind a few ideas that your experience has proven to be false.

A great writer has a high respect for values. His essential function is to raise life to the dignity of thought, and this he does by giving it a shape.

Novelty, the most potent of all attractions, is also the most perishable.
