"Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others"
"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood"
"Knowledge is love and light and vision"

"It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears"
"College isn't the place to go for ideas"
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved"
"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold"
"As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill"
"As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision"
