I am not young enough to know everything.

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.

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

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

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.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

Only he who accepts clashes and conflicts in life, loves life.

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

Mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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

Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of organized life.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.

There is one common struggle against those who have appropriated the earth, the money, and the machines.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
