“The wise man reads both books and life itself.”

“The busy man is never wise and the wise man is never busy.”

“Peace of mind is that mental condition in which you have accepted the worst.”

“Anyone who reads a book with a sense of obligation does not understand the art of reading.”

“Sometimes it is more important to discover what one cannot do, than what one can do.”

“The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of the nonessentials.”
