A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

Think your best thoughts every moment, every day. You will be the best person on the way.

A friend told me that one day he and I would be rich and famous. I told him that I'd trade my half of the fame, for his half of the money.

Long ago the signalling had become no more than a meaningless ritual, now maintained by an animal which had forgotten to learn and a robot which had never known to forget.

Commerce is greedy. Ideology is blood-thirsty.

Regarding marriage, it - somehow, it didn't happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country.

The Russians need to understand. I think they've been treating it as almost a probing, how far would we go, how much would we do.

I made a creativity out of that messiness.

All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point.

No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.
