Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

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

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

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

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

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

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

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

What you think about day and night forms your character and personality.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.
