The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed.
One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world.
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.
Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.
[I]t is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe.
