Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.

Life is like playing the violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on

Happiness is int he teaste, and not in the things themselves we are happy from possession what we like, not from possessing what others like.

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe.

*The supply of time is a daily miracle. You wake up in the morning your purse if magnificiently filled with 24 hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of life it is yours the most precious of your possessions.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.

The darkest hour in any man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earining it.

He has half the deed done, who has made a beginning.

Doing is the great thing. For if resolutely people do what is right, in time they come to like doing it.

the wise does at once what the fool does at last.

*If we begin with certainties, we shall end in doubts, but if we begin with doubts, and are patient in them, we shall end in certainties.

Man’s happiness does not lie in freedom, but in acceptance of duty.

Why not go on a limb? Isn’t that where the fruit is?

Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change

*Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness, on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit followed not as a means but as itself an ideal end. Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way…ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so. The only chance is to treat, not happiness, but some end external to it, as the purpose of life.
