The wealth that cannot be administered is a burden.

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.

Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind.

Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz.

I wanted to be the moron of the family, because morons seemed to have more fun, more freedom and more personality.

Owning a computer without programming is like having a kitchen and using only the microwave oven

When the chemistry is right, all the experiments work.

I notice when I'm on these trips, I read like mad. It's the only thing that seems to center me, bring me back to remembering who I am. Or forgetting who I am!

When you've fallen on the highway / and you're lying in the rain, / and they ask you how you're doing / of course you'll say you can't complain.

Don't ever look down, be comfortable with who you are, our flaws are what makes us perfect.

I hate the idea of success robbing you of your private life.

I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument which only truth can speak.
