I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

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

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

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

Words empowered by justice can never be silenced.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

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