A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

Optimism is a happiness magnet.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.
