To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
Be so good they can’t ignore you.
Be true to yourself. Make each day your masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.
There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.
Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
After all, tomorrow is another day.
Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.
Every battle is won before it is fought.
The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.
