Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.

Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks.

There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.

Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
