“Tomorrow sees undone, what happens not to-day; Still forward press, nor never tire! The possible, with steadfast trust, Resolve should be by the forelock grasp. Then she will ne'er let go her clasp, And labors on, because she must.”
“To venture an opinion is like moving a piece at chess: it may be taken, but it forms the beginning of a game that is won.”

“A passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young.”
“For example, I'm terribly proud. I'm as mistrustful and as sensitive as a hunchback or a dwarf; but, in truth, I've experienced some moments when if someone had slapped my face, I might even have been grateful for it. I'm being serious. I probably would have been able to derive a peculiar sort of pleasure from it-the pleasure of despair, naturally, but the most intense pleasures occur in despair, especially when you're very acutely aware of the hopelessness of your own predicament.”
“Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and those whose work and pleasure are one.”
