Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you. And you can only do that if you're being honest with yourself and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.
The dearest days in one's life are those that seem very far and very near at once.

I'm curious. Period. I find everything interesting. Real life. Fake life. Objects. Flowers. Cats. But mostly people. If you keep your eyes open and your mind open, everything can be interesting.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'
Your journey never ends. Life has a way of changing things in incredible ways.
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.
Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
I've always been a private person, and I've always valued my private life.

Life's more amusing than we thought.

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.
From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.
Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
