Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

That’s the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you.

Sometimes you simply needed someone kind to sit with you while you dealt with things.

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.

It takes courage and strength to be empathetic.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Success is like failure ... It's what you do with it, not how you achieve it.

Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.

You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything.

There is only one proof of ability — action.

Talent is a pursued interest … Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.

I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape.
