There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think – rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.
No man who worships education has got the best out of education…. Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
