Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.

Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.

Do not grieve over someone who changes all of the sudden. It might be that he has given up acting and returned to his true self.
