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

Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Exuberance is beauty.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

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

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

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