“He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy. [for without sorrow how would you know what joy is? Contrast provides peceptive clarity]”

“Some of our children are our justifications and some are but our regrets”

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiousity has its own reason for existing.”

“No man thoroughly understands a truth until he has contended against it.”

“The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”

“How many things apparently impossible have nevertheless been performed by resolute men who had no alternative but death.”

“That which does not destroy, strengthens.”
