An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself

Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
