“Time is the stuff of which life is made.”

I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.

If you follow all of the rules, you’ll miss all of the fun.

There are no laurels in life, just new challenges.

What in the world would we do without our libraries?

Life is very hard, isn’t it? It does kill you, after all.

Never complain. Never explain.

To live creatively free, do what you know how to do now, then ‘act as if’ you know how to do the rest.

As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior.

Wouldn’t it be great if people could get to live suddenly as often as they die suddenly?

If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.

What the hell-you might be right, you might be wrong but don’t just avoid.

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to, and I’ve made enough money to support myself, and ain’t afraid of being alone

The time to make up your mind about people is never.

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

The tree of life in rooted in love.

Whatever happens in your life, joyful or painful, do not be swept away by reactivity. Be patient with yourself and don’t lose your sense of perspective.

Treat your life like a game.

Your ultimate life experience and legacy is being built moment by moment, day by day. Your story is being crafted by your every action, all leading somewhere, all leading to what one hopes will be a magnificent crescendo.

Reality is negotiable.

I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life you wanted.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

Let me live my life the way I want to.
