On Love:
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
On Life:
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Life is either a great adventure or nothing.
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
On Death:
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
On Happiness:
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
On Optimism:
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
On Knowledge:
Knowledge is love and light and vision.
On God:
It is so pleasant to learn about new things. Every day I find how little I know, but I do not feel discouraged since God has given me an eternity in which to learn more.
