Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

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

Every person who ever thought he had a right to assert, and went boldly and asserted it, himself, or jointly with others that shared his convictions, was a direct actionist.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.

The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated in a contemporary antagonism known as the generation gap.

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self.

Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.

Live your life as an Exclamation rather than an Explanation

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.
