Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.
Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.
