A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.

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

I believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

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

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

The world only exists in your eyes... You can make it as big or as small as you want.

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