Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

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

The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual.

There is one common struggle against those who have appropriated the earth, the money, and the machines.

Live to the point of tears.

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

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

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

The natural world is the greatest source of excitement. The greatest source of visual beauty. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.

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

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
