Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.
Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.
Sometimes it’s the little things that count most.
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.
Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
Just close your eyes and enjoy the roller coaster that is life.
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.
You can’t make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about yourself.
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.
Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.
When in doubt, choose to live.
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others.
