Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for a bird to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

To create more positive results in your life, replace ‘if only’ with ‘next time’.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

The more you take responsibility for your past and present, the more you are able to create the future you seek.

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

Be present, it is the only moment that matters.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says “I’m possible”!

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.

If wrinkles must be written on our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.
