My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

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

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

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

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

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 own so much clutter that you will be relieved to see your house catch fire.

It would please me best if, at the last, a marble stone shall record that this Queen having lived such and such a time, lived and died a virgin.

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