A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
To enjoy the rainbow, first enjoy the rain.
The world is changed by examples, not by opinions.

Freedom means being able to choose how we respond to things. When wisdom is not well developed, it can be easily obscured by the provocations of others. In such cases we may as well be animals or robots. If there is no space between an insulting stimulus and its immediate conditioned response (anger), then we are in fact under the control of others. Mindfulness opens up such a space, and when wisdom is there to fill it one is capable of responding with forbearance.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
So many things become beautiful when you really look.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.
Someone you haven’t even met yet is wondering what it’d be like to know someone like you.
