We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Do not worry about holding high position; worry rather about playing your proper role.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.
