A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.
Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.
Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
If women were particular about men's characters, they would never get married at all.
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?
Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.
The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.
