Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be "damned if you do, and damned if you don't."
It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labour tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.
Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
