“the mistakes you regret the most in your life are the ones you didn't commit when you had the chance”
“A man sometimes devotes his life to a desire which he is not sure will ever be fulfilled. Those who laugh at this folly are, after all, no more than mere spectators of life.”
“Every man has his follies and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.”
“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened”
“He was one of those who are driven early in life into too conservative an attitude by the bewildering folly of most revolutionists.”
