"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..."
"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."
"The best revenge is not to be like your enemy."
"The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts."
