“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

“This is the best of all possible worlds.”
