Our steps should be based on realities and not on wishful thinking or vague suppositions. If we do not pay need to the realities of existence and plan our lives accordingly, we shall have the illusion that we are heading towards a bright future and splendid results, whereas, when the next moment of darkness arrives, we shall discover that, all along, we had been heading towards darkness.

The secret of life is not to stand in a person’s way. If one does not make oneself a target for another’s vengeance, but lets everyone continue pursuing his own goal in life, then one is not going to find one’s own path blocked by others.

A negligent attitude permits people to fritter away their time, day after day, with no thought for the future.

It is all very well to be an idealist, but if one eternally seeks the ideal in people, one is bound to be disappointed.
