A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

I found my place when I stopped looking for it.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure.

The truth is the light and light is the truth.
