This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.

Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

The happiest is the person who suffers the least pain; the most miserable who enjoys the least pleasure.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

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

Old age is the only disease you dont want to be cured of.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Unsatisfied desire is in itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Where there is love there is life.

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.
