To this urn let those repair That are either true or fair; For these dead birds sigh a prayer.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

It is not in our stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

The Eyes are the window to your soul

What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

You must remember that you were made so that the world might be graced with a brilliance that only YOU can display.

No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road turn back.

I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.

If you succeed not, cast not away the quills yet, nor scratch the wainscot, beat not the poor desk, but bring all to the forge and file again; turn it new.

A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?

One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.

Being mad is activating. Being sad can lead to hopelessness. I'm not hopeless. I'm very hopeful.

... humility + humor = humanity.

Somehow life doesn't always pay off to those who are most insistent.

The self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself, within yourself.
