The image is one thing and the human being is another...It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life.

Old age is by nature rather talkative.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

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 more I see, the less I know for sure.

You never know when a moment and afew sincere words can have an impact on a life.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.

This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.

There's no advantage to hurrying through life.

Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth!

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Im not in this world to live up to your expectations and youre not in this world to live up to mine.
