Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

Habit

It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.

Humankind

Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.

Laughter

If you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may say with confidence that he is a good man.

Memory

You are told a lot about your education, but some beautiful, sacred memory, preserved since childhood, is perhaps the best education of all. If a man carries many such memories into life with him, he is saved for the rest of his days. And even if only one good memory is left in our hearts, it may also be the instrument of our salvation one day.

Reality

Realists do not fear the results of their study.
