If you're happy, don't worry you'll get over it.

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

It is easy to be brave at a safe distance.

In moments of great grief, that’s where you look and immerse yourself. You realise you are not immortal, you are not a god, you are part of the natural world and you come to accept that.

No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Appearances often are deceiving.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

To me, being an intellectual doesn't mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.

What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Share our similarities, celebrate our differences.

You always admire what you really don't understand.
