Life

“We see things as we are, not as they are.”

“A problem well put is half solved.”

“Hatred, which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man that hated and this was an immutable law.”

“I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.”

“Beware the barrenness of a busy life.”

“Between stimulus and response there is a space.”

“If men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate.”

“It’s a difficult thing to climb to the top of the ladder of success only to realize when you get there that your ladder has been leaning against the wrong wall.”

“I’ve never met a bored person who wasn’t, themselves, boring.”

“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us with nothing to show for our progress except the memory of the smell of smoke and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”
