These are the times in life — when nothing happens — but in quietness the soul expands.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

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

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

Some people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

The first time you do something only happens once.

Living with regrets is like driving a car that only moves in reverse.

Vulnerability is important. You can’t let your skin get too thick.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.
