“Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.”

There is nothing for you to take away from this world. You have come to give.

To grow in unconditional love and in beauty is spirituality.

Faith makes you stable and steady. It brings out the totality in you. Consolidation of your energy is faith. Dissemination of energy is doubt.

The criteria for success: you are free, you live in the present moment, you are useful to the people around you, and you feel love for all humanity.

This is no dress rehearsal.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Life’s managed, not cured.

I love life, but not everything in it. I love people, but not all of them. I love myself, but not everything about me.

One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.
