If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.
Live simply so others may simply live.
Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old.
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.
I want to feel my life while I'm in it.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.
Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
It would please me best if, at the last, a marble stone shall record that this Queen having lived such and such a time, lived and died a virgin.
To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
