No wise man ever wished to be younger.

The older I get, the more I want to be authentically myself.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

To be careful with people and with words was a rare and beautiful thing.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas.

Never be so focused on what you’re looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.

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

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

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

What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.

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