“A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life”

“I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.”

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. ”

“Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.”

“You have not converted a man because you have silenced him”

“I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.”
