We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

If it is true for you, it is true for someone else, and you are no longer alone.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.
