The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

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

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

The only lasting truth is change.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

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.

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

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.

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

Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you.
