The experiences show us just as we are; they make us see our own defects.

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.

When life gets too hard on you just forget everything, be yourself and move on

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

Don't be ungrateful. Just open it.

I have actually five honorary degrees.

I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance.

The truth is that the poems are ecstatic.

Lie on your back and look at the stars.

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them.

I do know that we have delusions about ourselves in what we sound like.

Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.
