Lin Yutang
  • Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

  • No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

  • Hope is like a road in the country there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

  • This I conceive to be the chemical function of humor: to change the character of our thought.

  • Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty. Where there are too many soldiers, there is no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there is no justice.
