I've got no right to let the me down who's got me this far.

Just remember this: If anything goes wrong in life, it's usually your own fault.

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so you don't recognize them.

The main thing about storage is to get rid of your stuff.

What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what it's all about?

Many of us suffer from the “know-it-all” delusion and the fear of looking stupid. If you cast off both of these things, and regard every interaction as an opportunity to gain insight, your world will automatically get much more awesome.

Il faut le maleur pour creuser certaines mines mystérieures cachées dans l'intelligence humaine; il faut la pression pour faire éclater la poudre.

It's interesting that there are not many complaining, almost suicidal, Twitter posts considering how much life often sucks and all.

Stop ROFLing at me! Nobody ROFLs in real life, idiot!

Ô René, si tu crains les troubles du coeur, défie-toi de la solitude: les grandes passions sont solitaires, et les transporter au désert, c'est les rendre à leur empire.

Thank you for making me believe that just like in our films, in our life too, finally in the end, everything is ok. Happy Endings. And if it is not happy then it's not "the end," my friends!

Sometimes life is like a simile.

It is my sincere belief that our dissatisfaction in life is directly proportional to the magnitude of disagreement between our interpretation of reality and reality itself.

And yet, 'academy,' 'museum,' even 'education' are sound words if only we could make the things correspond with their meanings. The meaning of 'education' is a leading out, a drawing-forth; not an imposition of something on somebody—a catechism or an uncle— upon the child, but an eliciting of what is within him. Now, if you followed my last lecture, we find that which is within him to be no less, potentially, than the Kingdom of God.

Millions of us wouldn't know our next-door neighbors if we ran over them in our driveways.

On the other hand, human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Wisdom aquisition is a moral duty.

Je pense que ... tout homme d'action a besoin d'etre utopiste, par-ce que l'utopie d'aujour d'hui devient la realite de demain.

I want to say that at least half of all the pleasures that I have enjoyed in life have come from the world of the mind, from things of beauty and culture, especially literature and art. These things are available to everybody, virtually free of charge: all one needs is the interest to start with and a minimal effort to appreciate the riches spread out before us. Grandchildren, take that initial interest, if possible; make that continued effort. Once you have found it—the life of culture—never let it go.

Know this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.

It is, of course, irritating that extra care in thinking is not all good but actually introduces extra error. But most good things have undesired "side effects," and thinking is no exception.

I sat there for some time, a young man with more on his mind than in it.

You could say ... "I will participate in the game." It's a wonderful, wonderful opera, except that it hurts.

When love is a memory in the solitude of age, it fills it with pleasure and pride, because it's so brave to love. And that valor of trusting gives even that final aloneness an echo of a heart once filled.

The new man has at the center of his being a spontaneous energy that contains love and a sense of universal law which arouses love and respect in those associated with him.

To emerge from the stage door into prosaic daylight, if only to get a sandwich down the street, seemed romantic, because I was coming from the theater and going back to the theater.

Grandpa said he always got that kind of mixed up feeling. He said it was exciting because something new was being born, and it was sad because you knowed you can't hold on to it.

Well we all know people who've flunked, and they try and memorize and they try and spout back and they just...it doesn't work. The brain doesn't work that way. You've got to array facts on the theory structures answering the question "Why?" If you don't do that, you just cannot handle the world.

But, hey, man—Every day's a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something's bound to turn up.

If I want to honkey tonk around 'til two or three, well, brother, that's my headache — don't you worry 'bout me. Just mind your own business.
