Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

Don’t be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

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

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

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

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

Words empowered by justice can never be silenced.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
