We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

The way to know life is to love many things.

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

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

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

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

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

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Don't cry for a man who's left you - the next one may fall for your smile.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.
