“What is life but a series of inspired follies...”

“A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.”

“If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.”

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

“It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.”

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
