“Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.”
“Superstition is only the fear of belief, while religion is the confidence.”
“We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers.”
“Hide not your talents, they for use were made,What's a sundial in the shade?”
“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. ”
“Talent is extremely common. What is rare is the willingness to endure the life of the writer.”
“Be obscure clearly.”
“You like me not because I like you. I like you just because I like me.”
“Maybe the truth is I really want to like you instead.”
“If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am.”
