“The greatest and most important problems of life cannot be solved. They can only be outgrown.”

“The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.”

“The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown…. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.”

“sometimes the greatest of problems can be solved by a sweet smile”

“We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them.”

“If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.”
