Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

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.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.

Do not wait for the last judgment. It comes every day.

To be interested in the changing seasons is . . . a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

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

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.

Life must be lived as play.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

Within the child lies the fate of the future.
