A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

Human beings must always be on the watch for the coming of wonders.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

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

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.
