Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

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

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.

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

I found my place when I stopped looking for it.

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

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