Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

True spirituality has its basis in moral life, which in turn is based on contem-plation.

Nature is not human-hearted.

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

Hard work, disciplined habits, modesty in living, contentment and cheerfulness.

In the end, everything is a gag.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

Sow a thought and you get an act; Sow an act and you get a habit; Sow a habit and you get a character; Sow a character and you get a destiny.

The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
