Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

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

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

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

Life is a river always flowing. do not hold onto things. Work hard.

Who have not led the holy life nor riches won while young, they linger on as aged cranes around a fished-out pond.
