Thoughtful and inspirational quotes (part 7)

“No man was ever wise by chance.”

Seneca

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

“Most people end up being conformists; they adapt to prison life. A few become reformers; they fight for better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place.”​

Anthony de Mello

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.”

​— Roger Ebert, “Go gentle into that good night.” (via Tim Ferris)

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

Carl Jung
