Fjodor M. Dostojewski

Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each fragment, you will understand the mystery

 

Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.

 

A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.

 

It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.

 

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

 

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

 

Realists do not fear the results of their study.

 

The soul is healed by being with children.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

 

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.
