No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.
Never give up... No one knows what's going to happen next.
There is no place like home.
And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
I shall take the heart. [...] For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.
Stunt dwarf or destroy the imagination of a child and you have taken away its chances of success in life. Imagination transforms the commonplace into the great and creates the new out of the old.
I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.
A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get.
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams - day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain-machinery whizzing - are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization.
