Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration.

I learned that you have to push away the demand of people's expectations by believing in your instincts.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

'Tis never too late to be wise.
