“I don’t want just words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go.”

I suppose books mean more than people to me anyway

You see I usually find myself among strangers because I drift here and there trying to forget the sad things that happened to me.

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.

You remind me of a smoked cigarette.

There’s no substitute for will. Sometimes you have to fake will when you don’t feel it at all.

You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known—and even that is an understatement.

There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.

Someday I’m going to find somebody and love him and love him and never let him go.

No matter how low you go, there’s always an unexplored basement.

Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be.

It is not merely enough to have the ability to be persistant, you must also have the ability to start over.

The greatest profound pain is cased by, and is the result of our own illusions, fantasies and dreams.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

I’m a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won’t.

Where there is love, do what you will, it will be right action. It will never bring conflict to one’s life. In the flame of love, all fear is consumed.

There is nothing more horrifying than stupidity in action.

If you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

Things not worth doing are not worth doing well.

We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.

Learning is defined as a change in behavior. You haven’t learned a thing until you take action and use it.

Find what you can do best that renders service to others and do it with all your might.
