Quotes by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.

Our envy of others devours us most of all.

Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

Pride grows in the human heart like lard on a pig.
