Courage is a kind of salvation.

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.

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

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

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.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

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

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

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.

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

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.
