I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.
Strength of character is not measured by who we support but by knowing we all lean on one another.
Steady employment... keeps one out of mischief, for truly an idle brain is the devil's workshop.
Christian Friedrich D. Schubert
No one really understands the grief or joy of another.
Regardless of how much honor he receives, an honor-seeker will feel upset if even one person does not show him the honor and approval he demands. There will never be an amount of honor that will satisfy him. Physical desires have a saturation point, but the desire for honor is based on falsehood and illusion and is really nothing in itself.
Character | Desire | Falsehood | Honor | Illusion | Nothing | Will | Approval |

Every right has its responsibilities. Like the right itself, these responsibilities stem from no man-made law, but from the very nature of man and society. The security, progress and welfare of one group is measured finally in the security, progress and welfare of all mankind.
Character | Man | Mankind | Nature | Progress | Right | Security |
The one and only serious mistake is to be afraid of making mistakes.
