Silence is the cure for our Stupidity

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great Person is he/she who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude


Today is a new day. We shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with our old nonsense
