I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

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

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

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

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

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.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on.
