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

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

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

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