Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us.

Hide not your talents, they for use were made,

What's a sundial in the shade?

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.

Stop comparing yourself to other people, just choose to be happy and live your own life.

You cannot do a kindness too soon,
for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

We shall never know all the good
that a simple smile can do.

Logic will get you from A to B.
Imagination will take you everywhere.

In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

The inner fire is the most important thing mankind possesses.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
