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

The pleasure of the moment begins to wither almost as soon as it blossoms; our pleasures are soon swallowed up in time's relentless torrent.

Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.

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

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

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

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

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.

We fear our highest possibility (as well as our lowest one). We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.

Where there is love there is life.

I am not young enough to know everything.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.

When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand.

Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth). Make the growth choice a dozen times a day.

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
