Issue 314
- When we rejoice in our fullness, then we can part without fruits with joy.
- Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.
- Never mistake activity for achievement.
- The soul is a fire that darts its rays through all the senses; it is in this fire that existence consists; all the observations and all the efforts of philosophers ought to turn towards this ME, the centre and moving power of our sentiments and our ideas.

- The surest way to happiness is to lose yourself in a cause greater than yourself.
- There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy, we sow enormous benefits upon the world.
- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
- Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all.
