“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

What we need is a generation of peace.

A man who is afraid will do anything.

Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.

For the first time i began to think, consciously and deliberately of religion and other worlds. The Hindu religion especially went up in my estimation; not the ritual or ceremonial part, but it’s great books, the “Upnishads,” and the “Bhagavad Gita.”

History is the record of human progress, a record of the struggle of the advancement of the human mind, of the human spirit, towards some known or unknown objective.

Great causes and little men go ill together.

Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. It is never a narrowing of the mind or a restriction of the human spirit or the country’s spirit.

As fear is a close companion to falsehood, so truth follows fearlessness.

The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

We can’t encourage narrow mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought.

It is far better to know our own weaknesses and failures than to point out those of others.

It is now clear that science is incapable of ordering life. A life is ordered by values.

You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.

The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.

Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.

Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.

In civilizations without ships, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure and the police take the place of corsairs.

My appetite for life has returned.

I have to believe that ahead of me are entire adventures waiting to be lived, for the sun hasn’t abandoned me yet.

The adventures are calling, and I’ll go; taking the unexplored roots; planting myself in the unknown.

Without question, you have been the greatest adventure of my life.

Hurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.

The mountains are calling and I will go.

I’m not going anywhere. I hope. It’s been an adventure. We took some casualties over the years. Things got broken. Things got lost. But I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
