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

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

Don't own so much clutter that you will be relieved to see your house catch fire.

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

The pleasure of the moment begins to wither almost as soon as it blossoms; our pleasures are soon swallowed up in time's relentless torrent.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

Diamonds are a girls best friend.

I can't help thinking that there are only one or two ways of being brought into this world, but there are so many fucked-up ways of leaving it.

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

If I get married, I want to be very married.

We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.

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

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

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

Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Live simply so others may simply live.
