Perhaps the greatest test of love is the way we act in times of need.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

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

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

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

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

Attention is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.
