Parents were the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you had to earn it.
I'm against the ways of the world where people feel like they need to always make things too perfect.
The world, we'd discovered, doesn't love you like your family loves you.
The utmost we can hope for in this world is contentment; if we aim at anything higher, we shall meet with nothing but grief and disappointment. A man should direct all his studies and endeavors at making himself easy now and happy hereafter.
I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.
Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
I was ready for the world. I don't think the world was ready for me.
I know the cause of all human disappointment -- worldly prejudice.
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world.
If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
You have to choose between what the world expects of you and what you want for yourself.
They are so young, they forget that the world is not as in love with them as they are.
