As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. ↗

I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace. ↗

I've never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it. ↗
