“In order to write about life, first you must live it.”

“If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else. ”

“You will find as you grow older that courage is the rarest of all qualities to be found in public life ”

“The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour”

“To have a good life you need to live hidden”
