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

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

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

In art as in love, instinct is enough.

The best way to lift one's self up is to help someone else.

My only consolation when I am really sad is to love and to be loved.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.

It takes courage and strength to be empathetic.

We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

We won't be distracted by comparison if we're captivated with purpose.
