life

* A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
* Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
* Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
* Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
* I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
* Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
* Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
* Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
* I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
* I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
* I have just got a new theory of eternity.
* Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
* Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
* There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
* The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
