Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
From Anton Chekhov
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.
Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
We learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well.
If you are afraid of loneliness, do not marry.
Reason and justice tell me there's more love for humanity in electricity and steam than in chastity and vegetarianism.
No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith.
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
