One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

It is better to be hated for what you are than be loved for something you are not.

Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.

Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself- and thus make yourself indispensable.
