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

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Live for each second without hesitation.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

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

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
