The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.
Life consists of what man is thinking about all day.
Character consists of what you do on the third and forth tries.
A newspaper consists of just the same number of words, whether there be any news in it or not.
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists of not exceeding the limit.
Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.
The whole art of politics consists in directing rationally the irrationalities of men.
The great art of giving consists in this: the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.
