I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

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

If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

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

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old.

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

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

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

Insanity in individuals is rare - but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

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.
