“I feel the gods are pretty dead, though I suppose I ought to know that however, to be somewhat more philosophical in the matter, if atheism means simply not being a theist, then of course I’m an atheist.”

Hear you don’t believe I know enough to hold office. I wish you to understand that I am thinking about something or other most of the time.

There’s all the difference in the world between having something to say, and having to say something.

Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.

The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.

Thinking and feeling that have to do with action in association with others is as much a social mode of behavior as is the most overt cooperative or hostile act.

As long as politics is the shadow of big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance.

Hunger not to have, but to be.

Thinking is not a case of spontaneous combustion; it does not occur just on general principles.

We may lead a horse to water we cannot make him drink; and that while we can shut a man up in a penitentiary we cannot make him penitent.

To me faith means not worrying.

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.

The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.

Like the soil, mind is fertilized while it lies fallow, until a new burst of bloom ensues.

The only way to abolish war is to make peace seem heroic.

To me, faith means not worrying.

It’s okay to disappear, take your time, to hurt, to feel, to heal.

The idea of feeling great at all times is purely fictional for a simple reason: we get bored of the same things, same feelings, same environments pretty quickly. If everything was always nice and great, you’d get depressed.

The happiness of life lies within yourself. As long as you feel you are content, you are happy.

At the end of the day, what matters most is how we make other people feel, how we impact their life, how we make their life a little bit brighter every moment.

Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.

Positive feeling helps you keep an optimistic outlook through difficult situations.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

Be so dedicated to yourself that everyone feels good to be themselves too.
