Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.

A flower blossoms for its own joy.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

What you seek is seeking you.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life.
