There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.

Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.

Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?

Death is a fearful thing.

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.

There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Actor’s life is very long.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way – everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger.
