Genius is often only the power of making continuous efforts.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

Exuberance is beauty.

I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

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

It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Love is really... a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.

Take forgiveness slowly. Don't blame yourself for being slow. Peace will come.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.
