Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

Time is how you spend your love.

That virtue we appreciate is as much ours as another’s. We see so much only as we possess.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

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

Only the curious have something to find.

Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.

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

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.
