“All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.”

Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.

Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.

If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?

There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.

The more I see of Mankind, the more I prefer my dog.

What a vast difference there is between knowing God and loving Him.

If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.

We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything.

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

Great and small suffer the same mishaps.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

All the maxims have been written. It only remains to put them into practice.

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

The entire ocean is affected by a single pebble.

The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason.

Many things that become threatening in the dark, become welcoming when we shine a light on them.

For my life, I need to make my own choices.

People will try and confine you in adjectives, they will either declare you beautiful or call you ugly, either way it will box you, rise above their perception of you, free yourself and let your deeds define you.

If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.

Each one of us has the power to change the world. Shed light, and darkness disappears.

Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.

My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.
