We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.
At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.
In order to write about life first you must live it.
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty. I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.
The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.
