Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed

It is easier to influence strong than weak characters in life.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

Sow a thought and you get an act; Sow an act and you get a habit; Sow a habit and you get a character; Sow a character and you get a destiny.

Don't be concerned others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

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

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties

If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

My art and profession is to live.

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

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

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

I think it can be shown that the law makes ten criminals where it restrains one.

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

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
