Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.

Wrinkles are engraved smiles.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

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

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Don't cry for a man who's left you - the next one may fall for your smile.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

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

Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old.

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

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

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.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
