Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

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.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

Life has got to be lived-that's all that there is to it.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.

All of us are products of our childhood.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
