I've learned that people will seldom let you down if they understand that your destiny is in their hands, and vice versa.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and yours may be in the hands of the receptionist.

Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.

One must become as humble as the dust before he can discover truth.

All of the full moons for the entire year are special in that they have particular names.

Live the questions now.

Be in relaxation a few moments. It can be any kind of situations - swimming in the river, relax with the river, or sunning on the beach, relax with the sun - anything. Life is full of opportunities.

There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead.
