We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often 'Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.'

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

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

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

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

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.

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

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

In order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.

We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
