LIFE

• It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

• If we are really to live at all we must put our convictions into action

• My life is my message.

• Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments

• Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves–or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.

• Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.

• Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever

• There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happened

• The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
