Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

Let everything you do be done in love.

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

The first time you do something only happens once.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.

Optimism is a happiness magnet.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.
