The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: "I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth."

We live in the world when we love it.

Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free.

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

The problem is not how to wipe out all differences, but how to unite with all differences intact.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.

There are endless ways to thank the people who have contributed to your life. Dole out thanks, and your life will bloom.

Only absurdities need to be defended. Truth speaks for itself.

Bob Dole used to be really funny. Barney Frank can be kind of funny. Bob Kerrey has a good sense of humor.

For me, I feel like reality TV is anything but these days.

I think I'm long past the days where I would go to the store and drop a couple hundred bucks on CDs, so my playlist is gonna be pretty long in the tooth.

The language of my books has shaped me as a man.

When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.

If you take all your meals seriously, none of them gets a chance to matter.

The truth is that the past exists no more than the future, even though it feels as though it does.
