Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give
without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without
meanness.
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
On strategy: You live. No use asking whether life will bring you pleasure or unhappiness, whether it will prove a blessing or a curse. Who could answer these questions? You live, you breathe.
On growth: One changes from day to day...every few years one becomes a new being.
On time: As soon as life becomes bearable we stop analyzing it. A tranquil day is spoiled by being examined.
On imagination: Genius, whether locked up in a cell or roaming at large, is always solitary.
