You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

We're not a fragile people. We're not a frightful people. Our power doesn't come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don't look to be ruled.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
