“The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together.”

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.

But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.

I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.

How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.

Real love begins where nothing is expected in return.

Language is the source of misunderstandings.

In every crowd are certain persons who seem just like the rest, yet they bear amazing messages.

He who never says “no” is no true man.

Friendship is born from an identity of spiritual goals – from common navigation toward a star.

Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.

And at night I love to listen to the stars. It is like five hundred million little bells.

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

All grown-ups were once children but only few of them remember it.

Only the children know what they are looking for.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Do not set aside your happiness. Do not wait to be happy in the future. The best time to be happy is always now.

If you want to imagine the future, imagine a boy and his dog and his friends. And a summer that never ends.

For it is evident that those who regard the whole earth as their future territory will stress the organ of domestic violence and will rule conquered territory with police methods and personnel rather than with the army.

A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.

Whether in industry or in politics, leaders should be building a new, more flexible order for the imperiled generations to come.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.

Live a life that makes you feel proud when you discuss your past with your children in the future.
