Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

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.

One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.

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

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

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.

Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

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

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

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.
