“If man is to be liberated to enjoy more leisure, he must also be prepared to enjoy this leisure fully and creatively.”

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be again.

What you don’t do can be a destructive force.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

Once I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

There is nothing to fear except fear it’s self.
