Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.
Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage.
Fill your brain with giant dreams so it has no space for petty pursuits.
The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.
Life for me has not been a crystal stair.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
While we teach, we learn.
It’s not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
No wind blows in favor of a ship without direction.
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.
It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.
Love loves to love love.
Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.
The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
