No wise man ever wished to be younger.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

Forgiveness … is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.

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

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

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

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

You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
