“Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.”

Humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation.

Success is total self-acceptance.

Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.

Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be.

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.

Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.

The more one forgets one’s own self, the more human the person becomes.

When a man cannot find meaning, he numbs himself with pleasure.

What is to give light must endure burning.

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

You don’t create your mission in life – you detect it.

If you want to achieve widespread impact and lasting value, be bold.

It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.

Put your ass where your heart wants to be.

It could be the end of a story. It could be the beginning.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains.

The good ideas will survive.

I will tremble. But that is not to say I am not brave.

Even on the darkest days the sun still rises.
