What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

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.

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.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

One of the saddest things in life, is the things one remembers.

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

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

Live simply so others may simply live.

For life in general, there is but one decree: youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

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

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

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.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.

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.

Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.
