No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

I am persuaded that every time a man smiles

 — but much more so when he laughs — 

it adds something to this fragment of life.

God is the indwelling 

and not the transient cause 

of all things.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

It is lamentable that to be a good patriot 

one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.

In play, 

a child is always above his average age, 

above his daily behaviour; 

in play, 

it is as though he were 

a head taller than himself.

Morality covers our conduct, 

not what goes on inside our heads.

Realists do not fear the results of their study.

Dreams are not without meaning 

wherever they may come from:

from fantasy, 

from the elements, 

or from other inspiration.

I have found the missing link 

between the higher ape 

and civilised man; 

it is we.

Be less curious about people 

and more curious about ideas.

The best way out of a difficulty is through it.

The hours I spend with you 

I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, 

a dim twilight, 

and a fountain singing to it. 

You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. 

Other men it is said have seen angels, 

but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

Find a place inside where there's joy, 

and the joy will burn out the pain.
