"To have played and laughed with enthusiasm,..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Fear is cruel and mean. The political reigns of terror have been reigns of madness and malignity,--a total perversion of opinion;society is upside down, and its best men are thought too bad to live.”

“Nature: She pardons no mistakes. Her yea is yea, and her nay, nay.”

“Every wall is a door.”

“The various features and aspects of human life, such as longevity, good health, success, happiness, and so forth, which we consider desirable, are all dependent on kindness and a good heart.”

“There's always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.”

“Of course awards matter.”

“Paradise is where I am”

“They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?”

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