Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.

When you have shot one bird flying you have shot all birds flying. They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first.

Peace is its own reward.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.
