We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

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

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

Once you realize that you can do something, it would be difficult to live with yourself if you didn’t do it.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

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

The world belongs to the enthusiast who keeps cool.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.
