Always be ready to speak your mind, 

and a base man will avoid you.

Existence is a strange bargain. 

Life owes us little; 

we owe it everything. 

The only true happiness comes
from squandering ourselves
for a purpose.

Ambition is the immoderate desire for power.

There is only one failure in life possible, 

and that is 

not to be true 

to the best one knows.

There is a saying 

that every nice piece of work needs 

the right person 

in the right place 

at the right time.

The antiquity and general acceptance of an opinion is not assurance of its truth.

One of the truest tests of integrity 

is its blunt refusal to be compromised.

Eventually, 

my eyes were opened, 

and I really understood nature. 

I learned to love at the same time.

Earth is a flower 

and it's pollinating.

Keep true to the dreams of your youth.

There are mysteries which men can only guess at, 

which age by age they may solve only in part.

It is reality that awakens possibilities, 

and nothing would be more perverse 

than to deny it.

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, 

it's what we know that ain't so.

Secrecy, 

being an instrument of conspiracy, 

ought never to be the system of a regular government.

Come Fairies, 

take me out of this dull world, 

for I would ride with you upon the wind 

and dance upon the mountains 

like a flame!
