Some days, your perfume falls from your skin and settles in the staircase. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stopped on the fourth step and felt all the ways I’ve fallen in love with you.

They ask me how I love you and I say in pages, in novels, in volumes. I love you like my favorite story, the one that I wake up to every day and watch unfold. And I don’t know how it ends, but I know your name is already written in the chapters of my life that I have yet to live.

The universe, at any given point, in any given time, is expanding indefinitely in all directions. So trust me when I say, ‘you are the center of mine.’

You deserve to give yourself the same love that you give to everyone else.

You be the clouds above, I’ll be the grass below, and everything in between will be where our love will grow.

You are the daydream I am supposed to have for the rest of my life.

I don’t let go of concepts – I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Sometimes, the only way to discover who you are or what life you should lead is to do less planning and more living…

Nothing’s funnier to me than laughing at myself.

No, I’m not anguished and tormented.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Who is wise? He who learns from all men.

When you don’t have much money, you worry that they’ll just put you in the ground someplace and your loved ones won’t know where you are.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.

No American ought to be compelled to strike for his rights. He ought to receive them naturally, easily, as a matter of course.

For to tempt and to be tempted are things very nearly allied – whenever feeling has anything to do in the matter, no sooner is it excited than we have already gone vastly farther than we are aware of.

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

Faith, n.: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.

Trees are among the most useful things grown.

When hungry, eat your rice; when tired, close your eyes. Fools may laugh at me, but wise men will know what I mean.
