The strongest of all warriors are these two – Time and Patience.
Music is an outburst of the soul.
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.
Things are always better in the morning.
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.
Live as though life were created for you.
Enjoy your youth. You’ll never be younger than you are at this very moment.
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.
You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things.
Life is short and we never have enough time for the hearts of those who travel the way with us. O, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind.
Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.
A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
An open heart is an open mind.
Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is.
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains.
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.
