Everything - a horse, a vine - is created for some duty... For what task, then, were you yourself created?

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Breathe deeply and remember to love.

Authority could derive from passion, not pieces of paper.

There's no such thing as a perfect relationship. It's about finding someone who matches you and will go through everything without giving up.

Its not just your truth, Its my bad too...

I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.

I think it really holds you back having to think about your image.

Its better to be second while everyone is saying You should have been first than be first when everyone says You should be second.

Stealing things is a glorious occupation, particularly in the art world.

When you forget yourself and your fear, when you get beyond self-consciousness because your mind is thinking about what you are trying to communicate, you become a better communicator

I love Serena [Williams]. Seeing what Serena's done in her field has been incredible.
