To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

Some people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress.

Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

The world belongs to the enthusiast who keeps cool.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
