Sometimes it’s the little things that count most.
My greatest skill in life has been to want but little.
Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
The true miracle is not walking on water or walking in air, but simply walking on this earth.
In life, there are no mistakes, only lessons.
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family – and I don’t think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.
Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
A place for everything, everything in its place.
Leave life alone. Let it be.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Simplify, simplify, simplify.
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.
