The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

Life, if well lived, is long enough.

When you look at a corporation, just like when you look at a slave owner, you want to distinguish between the institution and the individual. So slavery, for example, or other forms of tyranny, are inherently monstrous. The individuals participating in them may be the nicest guys you can imagine.

The community – more than two billion people use our products, and we get that, with that, a lot of people are using that for a lot of good, but we also have a responsibility to mitigate the darker things that people are gonna try to do.

To be ashamed of one’s immorality: that is a step on the staircase at whose end one is also ashamed of one’s morality.

It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm.

Sin cannot be conceived in a natural state, but only in a civil state, where it is decreed by common consent what is good or bad.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can’t have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I’d rather not be in a cage. I’d rather be dead. And it’s real simple. And I think it’s not that uncommon.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

My father, who was jailed for stealing on more than one occasion, just abandoned his fatherly responsibilities and disappeared. I grew up working from the time I was nine years of age. Money was a big issue everywhere I lived.

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

If you’re in favour of any policy – reform, revolution, stability, regression, whatever – if you’re at least minimally moral, it’s because you think it’s somehow good for people. And good for people means conforming to their fundamental nature.

The honor of a nation is its life.

It is natural to die as to be born.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Yes, there is a terrible moral in ‚Dorian Gray‘ – a moral which the prurient will not be able to find in it, but it will be revealed to all whose minds are healthy. Is this an artistic error? I fear it is. It is the only error in the book.

The art is long, life is short.

It’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.

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

I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.

Honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.

I think it’s my responsibility, as a person of influence… to sometimes try to do what I can.

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

Quacks are a part of our culture, and we all fall prey to them. Who among us can say, for sure, that even our own personal physicians are honest and competent?

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it’s possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible.

A people do not throw their geniuses away. And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children and, if necessary, bone by bone.

I’m more of a realist when it comes to life, and I’d much rather my mother be in a spiritual place in Heaven than in a bed, sick, fighting for her life.

You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

As we know, while our species remains alive, everybody has the sacred duty to be optimistic. Ethically, any other behaviour wouldn’t be admissible.

How should a man be capable of grooming his own horse, or of furbishing his own spear and helmet, if he allows himself to become unaccustomed to tending even his own person, which is his most treasured belonging?

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

We all have the duty to do good.
