Nothing In The World Is So Rare

He Who Has The Courage To Laugh Is Almost As Much A Master Of The World As He Who Is Ready To Die.

Since The World Never Faults A Man Who Refuses To Yield...it Is Generally Recognized That Weak Men Live In Obedience To The World's Will, While The Strong Obey Only Their Own.

The Old Man, Especially If He Is In Society In The Privacy Of His Thoughts, Though He May Protest The Opposite, Never Stops Believing That, Through Some Singular Exception Of The Universal Rule, He Can In Some Unknown And Inexplicable Way Still Make An Impression On Women.

He Who Travels Much Has This Advantage Over Others – That The Things He Remembers Soon Become Remote, So That In A Short Time They Acquire The Vague And Poetical Quality Which Is Only Given To Other Things By Time. He Who Has Not Traveled At All Has This Disadvantage – That All His Memories Are Of Things Present Somewhere, Since The Places With Which All His Memories Are Concerned Are Present.

The Most Solid Pleasure In This Life Is The Empty Pleasure Of Illusion.
