I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

If you have zest and enthusiasm, you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

Do not wait for the last judgment. It comes every day.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

You never know when a moment and afew sincere words can have an impact on a life.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

There's place and means for every man alive.

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Sometimes - history needs a push.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
