Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

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

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

Exuberance is beauty.

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

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

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

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
