Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.

Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

It is not worthy of a human being to give up.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Happiness is a simple, frugal heart.

Only the ephemeral is of lasting value.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.
