To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

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

Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth!

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

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

There's no advantage to hurrying through life.
