Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

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

From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

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