Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Being silent in the right moment is a skill.

If a man wishes to ensure the bad opinion of others, his best course probably is to be honest about himself.

It's really not that hard to put food on the table if that's what you decide to do.

Sleep is often denied to those with secrets.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. And if you can't do that, force a smile on your face and sob into your pillow later.

I'm really not into the idea of just faking songs with a synthesizer. That just isn't the music I'm making at all.

I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends.

You've got to love something enough to kill it.

The fame stuff, the kind words from websites and things, are very flattering and lovely, but I just wanna act.

I shall laugh my bitter laugh.
