A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Only in the darkness, you are able to see the stars.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.
