My art and profession is to live.

Life has a certain flavour for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

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

Certain signs precede certain events.

Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it takes is courage, imagination ... and a little dough

If I get married, I want to be very married.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

The pleasure of the moment begins to wither almost as soon as it blossoms; our pleasures are soon swallowed up in time's relentless torrent.

He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of organized life.

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.

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

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

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.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
