It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

The 'good old times'-all times, when old, are good.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

The natural world is the greatest source of excitement. The greatest source of visual beauty. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

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

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

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.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

Wrinkles are engraved smiles.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties

This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die.

What goes up must come down.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
