What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

To get a hold on boys you must be their friend.

I can imagine it’s hard to make a relationship last. I wouldn’t know.

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

I think we all change each other’s paths. I don’t know which law idea that is in physics, but I don’t think any of us can live without affecting one another.

A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.

What’s the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?

Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I’m just trying to create a good one for myself.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

There is always something infinitely mean about other people’s tragedies.

You’ll see it when you believe it.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, can ever compel the soul of a person to believe or to disbelieve.

I rely on other people every day of my life.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.

Secretly we’re all a little more absurd than we make ourselves out to be.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn’t mean I am immortal. It doesn’t mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.

The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.

It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.

There’s no one thing that is true. They’re all true.

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

Desire is the essence of a man.

To insult someone we call him ‚bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature, ‚human‘ might be the greater insult.

My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.

All things in the world come from being. And being comes from non-being.

All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.

Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.

Whatever must happen ultimately should happen immediately.

Law is mind without reason.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.

One cannot violate the promptings of one’s nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.

In the course of a marriage, one accommodates the other.

I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

Really showing love requires more than just words.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

Live-tweeting your bikini wax is not vulnerability. Nor is posting a blow-by-blow of your divorce . That’s an attempt to hot-wire connection. But you can’t cheat real connection. It’s built up slowly. It’s about trust and time.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.
