Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

History is the devil's scripture.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.

If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.

Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.

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

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

We fear our highest possibility (as well as our lowest one). We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.

He who is in love with himself has at least this advantage - he won't encounter many rivals.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.

Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
