I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

It is a test of true theories 

not only to account for 

but to predict phenomena.

I am convinced 

that there are universal currents of Divine Thought 

vibrating the ether everywhere 

and that any who can feel these vibrations 

is inspired.

What distinguishes the majority of men from the few 

is their inability to act according to their beliefs.

Be happy for this moment. 

This moment is your life.

The loss of Eden 

is personally experienced 

by every one of us 

as we leave the wonder and magic 

and also the pains and terrors 

of childhood.

In oneself lies the whole world 

and if you know how to look 

and learn, 

the door is there 

and the key is in your hand. 

Nobody on earth can give you 

either the key 

or the door to open, 

except yourself.

Have no fear of perfection 

— you'll never reach it.

People must feel 

that the natural world 

is important 

and valuable 

and beautiful 

and wonderful 

and an amazement 

and a pleasure.

Most people do not really want freedom, 

because freedom involves responsibility, 

and most people are frightened of responsibility.

The highest and most beautiful things in life 

are not to be heard about, 

nor read about, 

nor seen 

but, 

if one will, 

are to be lived.

 

Where the willingness is great, 

the difficulties cannot be great.

The profoundly 'atomic' character of the universe 

is visible in everyday experience, 

in raindrops and grains of sand, 

in the hosts of the living, 

and the multitude of stars; 

even in the ashes of the dead.
