“The wise man’s home is the universe.”

Men should strive to think much and know little.

The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.

The man who is fortunate in his choice of son-in-law gains a son; the man unfortunate in his choice loses his daughter also.

Sexual intercourse is a slight attack of apoplexy.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.

One should practice much sense, not much learning.

Good breeding in cattle depends on physical health, but in men on a well-formed character.

Nature and education are somewhat similar. The latter transforms man, and in so doing creates a second nature.

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures.

The wise man belongs to all countries, for the home of a great soul is the whole world.

Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.

In a shared fish, there are no bones.

Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss.

No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.

Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness.

I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions.

There is nothing more important than a good, safe, secure home.

When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

You can find shame in every house, burning in an ashtray, hanging framed upon a wall, covering a bed. But nobody notices it any more.

Your body is meant to be the safest place for you to live.

I am always going to have problems with the paparazzi. I have had two men outside my house for the last two years, which is frightening at times, but that is my life unfortunately.

Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.

I work out with my trainer or do an hour of pilates at 6 or 7AM. I’m done by the time my household is awake.
