Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

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

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

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

Pain don't hurt.

We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.

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

Life has got to be lived-that's all that there is to it.

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

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

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

I am not young enough to know everything.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.
