Life is short, have dessert first.
The people on the train with me don’t know it, but in my head I’m dancing.
A wise man once remarked that we can count how many seeds are in the apple, but not how many apples are in the seed.
They say the eyes are the window to the soul.
If nothing ever changed, there would be no such things as butterflies.
Nothing nice you ever do for anyone is for no reason.
I’m going to tell you a secret. Our lives are shaped by the future, not by the past. Once you decide how you want your life to be, all you need to do is live into that future.
We’ll never have a true picture of reality; it just doesn’t exist. But I’m real, and you’re real, and those fiery balls of gas up there are real, and right now that’s all I need to know.

Always keep your eyes open. Don’t block your own sunshine. Be filled with wonder.
Because that’s all life is, really, a string of moments that you knot together and carry with you.
The future is all possibilities, but the past is set in stone. All those ghosts of ourselves, our youth, still alive inside us, but out of our reach forever. We meet them when we close our eyes, when we let our memories come alive. But that’s all they are. Memories. No more real than a dream.
The trick is that as long as you know who you are and what makes you happy, it doesn’t matter how others see you.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
If everyone waited to do something good until they had purely unselfish motivations, no good would ever get done in the world. The point is to do it anyway.
Maybe some things aren’t meant to be known. maybe there just meant to be accepted.
The sidelines may be safer but life is played on the field.
Sometimes the best things look the strangest.
