I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

Chance favors only the prepared mind.

Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

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

Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.

Do not fear mistakes, there are none.
