We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.
Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.
History is the devil's scripture.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
Old age is the only disease you dont want to be cured of.
The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
Sometimes - history needs a push.

When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.
Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.
There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.
Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.
