Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one.

What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.

The best way of removing negativity is to laugh and be joyous.

Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.
