Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier.

It is a happy talent to know how to play.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

In the beginning especially, we won't realize we're changing.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

Be loving, and you will never want for love.

The world won't give you any gifts. If you want to have a life, steal it.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.
