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

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

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.

The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

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