You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be.
Nothing is impossible for pure love.
Confine yourself to the present.
Each day provides its own gifts.
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.
Spend your brief moment according to nature’s law, and serenely greet the journey’s end as an olive falls when it is ripe, blessing the branch that bare it, and giving thanks to the tree that gave it life.
Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live.
Death and life, success and failure, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, all these happen to good and bad alike, and they are neither noble nor shameful – and hence neither good nor bad.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
I have spent most of my life worrying about things that have never happened.
Never forget, your family should always have priority over your work.
You only are free when you realize you belong no place – you belong every place – no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Every day create your history, every path you take you’re leaving your legacy.
As women, we must stand up for ourselves. We must stand up for each other. We must stand up for justice for all.
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.
When hope is gone, time is punishment.
Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
