life is like riding a bicycle. to keep your balance you must keep moving.

you cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit.

love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

people fail forward to success.

a coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

the less their ability, the more their conceit.

all you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

to err is human, but it feels divine.

everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

if i have lost confidence in myself, i have the universe against me.

the heart has reasons that reason does not know.

when i was young, i admired clever people. now that i am old, i admire kind people.

your body may fall apart, but on every level that really matters, you can ascend toward enlightenment, wisdom, and authenticity.

there are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

the divine is not something high above us. it is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us...

there are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way and not starting.

act as if what you do makes a difference. it does.

we have some salt of our youth in us.

don't cry because it's over...smile because it happened.
