Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses, and disappointments.

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

If the risk is fully aligned with your purpose and mission, then it’s worth considering.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.
