Love is really... a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

The world only exists in your eyes... You can make it as big or as small as you want.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

If you follow the natural intentions, you get the most success out of life.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
