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

A life not lived for others is not a life.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child

Let silence take you to the core of life.

The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.

Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.

Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.

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

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

Is it not enough that 'things are cruel and blind'? Must we also be cruel and blind?

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

There's place and means for every man alive.

Last year I sang for the Queen of England, met the president of the United States, and got an Emmy and a star on The Walk of Fame. And what did I do? I was just being myself.

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.

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