A free man thinks of nothing less than of death, and his wisdom is a meditation, not on death, but on life.
Sleep is the best meditation.
The really great men in the history of the world have all either known how to meditate or have unconsciously found their way to the place to which meditation leads us.
We must then meditate on the things that make our happiness, seeing that when that is with us we have all, but when it is absent we do all to win it.
If we spent half an hour every day in silent immobility, I am convinced that we should conduct all our affairs, personal, national, and international, far more sanely than we do at present.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
