Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.

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.

The secret of happiness is not doing what we like but in liking what we do.

Only this much needs to be known: If you separate ‘I’ and ‘my’, you will have known all the scriptures! Then the whole universe will be known to you!

You are all so good and I wish I were better. Now get out of here because I want to be where you are.

I distrust a man that says when. If he's got to be careful not to drink to much it's because he's not to be trusted when he does.

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

It wasn't enough to be kidnapped, I had to be insulted too.

For some reason, there is a purity to the Swiss Alps - a certain energy - that is very reminiscent of my snowboarding experiences in the Himalayas.

Look around when you have got your first mushroom or made your first discovery: they grow in clusters.

You can smoke or drink on a golf course without interrupting the game, and you can take a leak - something you can't do on a squash court and shouldn't do in a swimming pool.

Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow.
