How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes

To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.

We think too much and feel too little.

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

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

It would please me best if, at the last, a marble stone shall record that this Queen having lived such and such a time, lived and died a virgin.

Sometimes - history needs a push.

The past is the best prophet of the future.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

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

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

For life in general, there is but one decree: youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

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.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Old age is the only disease you dont want to be cured of.

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

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
