Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Compassion is the basis of morality.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

All great achievements require time.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.

Where you stand depends on where you sit.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.

Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!

Every aquarium will eventually leak.

It takes a great man to be a good listener.
