Love is knowing every goodbye has a hello on the horizon.

Whatever it is, people who have more spare time than people ever had before get the sense of whirlwind pressure,and repeat the common criticism that ‘we are going too fast.’ Yet the people live longer than ever before, live with less effort, live on a higher plane. Is it possible that this common saying about our rapid pace is just another thoughtless mob suggestion?

There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

What’s to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time, and I am quite proud that I got out of that.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

Life is a marathon, it’s not a sprint.

I didn’t start a war. Nobody died.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find how far one can go.

You’ll turn out ordinary if you’re not careful.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

There are ships sailing to my ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
