Don't wait. The time will never be just right.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

The man of faith, of energy, of warmth… steps in and does something.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.

Find your style and stick to it.

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier.
