Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.
