Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
