Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

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

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

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

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

When life hands you a lemon, say, 'Oh yeah, I like lemons! What else ya got?

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.
