“Here's the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.”

“Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer.”

“To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.”

“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”

“What are men to rocks and mountains?”

“I never panic when I get lost. I just change where it is I want to go.”
