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.
I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.
Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.
If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
I’ll wait for you forever.
Youth is wasted on the young.
We can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough.
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
Failure is an event, not a person.
Wrinkles will only go where the smiles have been.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be.
The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.
One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
To die is nothing; but it is terrible not to live.
The purpose of life is the life of purpose.
Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes.
