You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Don’t believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Do not wait for the last judgment. It comes every day.
You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.
