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

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

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

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

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

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

All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up - that growing is an ever ongoing process.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

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.

Nature is not human-hearted.

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

Old age is the only disease you dont want to be cured of.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

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

Life is a journey, not a destination.

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.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
