The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

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

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

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

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.

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

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.

Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

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

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.
