Certainty is a cruel mindset. It hardens our minds against possibility.

Stress is a function not of events, but of our view of those events.

Life consists only of moments, nothing more than that. So if you make the moment matter, it all matters

Stop turning every others battle into yours. Sometimes amidst of all the wars, all you need to become is the lighthouse, not the sword.

Whoever has not ascended mountains knows little of the beauties of Nature.

It is the mission of art to remind man from time to time that he is human, and the time is ripe, just now, today, for such a reminder.

As soon as we find ourselves working at being indispensable, rigging up a pattern of vulnerability in our loved ones, we know that our love has taken the socially sanctioned form of egotism.

You don't inspire your teammates by showing them how amazing you are. You inspire them by showing them how amazing they are.

I work hard and I play hard, too. There is nothing wrong with that.
