Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

There is no deeper desire than the desire of being revealed.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

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

Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person that you always should have been.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

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

Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can be delightful.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.
