A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

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

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

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

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

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.
