The least of the work of learning is done in the classroom.

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.

I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.

Wheels of fire, cosmic, rich, full-bodied honest victories over desperation.

I feel there's a constant sense of happiness and gratefulness in me.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

It's a joy, the process itself, even instrumentally, playing and constructing music. It's just so beautiful to me.

Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.
