“We live as we dream – alone. While the dream disappears, the life continues painfully.”

The human heart is vast enough to contain all the world.

Protection is the first necessity of opulence and luxury.

It occurred to me that my speech or my silence, indeed any action of mine, would be a mere futility.

It is the mark of an inexperienced man not to believe in luck.

He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.

Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.

Follow your bliss. Find where it is and don’t be afraid to follow it.

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

The mind of man is capable of anything.

It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth.

The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.

To be busy with material affairs is the best preservative against reflection, fears, doubts, all these things which stand in the way of achievement. I suppose a fellow proposing to cut his throat would experience a sort of relief while occupied in stropping his razor carefully.

Everybody had to be thoroughly understood before being accepted.

To be a great autocrat you must be a great barbarian.

I don’t like work but I like what is in work – the chance to find yourself. Your own reality – for yourself, not for others – which no other man can ever know.

I always went my own road and on my own legs where I had a mind to go.

I dream too much, work too little.

At the end of the day, we can’t always achieve everything that we dream of but you do have to enjoy life in the process.

Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams.

We all dream about love, want to be in love, and have been hurt by love.

You’re not going to see your dreams come true if you don’t put wings, legs, arms, hands, and feet on ’em.

My dream has become a reality now, and it’s the best feeling I’ve ever had.

I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
