War is mainly a catalogue of blunders. 

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting. 

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history. l 

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible. 

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
