“We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces – we become the powerful force ourselves.”

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance.

Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.

We created time, and now we have become the slave of time.

Live nutty. Just occasionally. Just once in a while. And see what happens. It brightens up the day.

We all need each other.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time. It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness, and even death.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

Live now. When you are eating, eat. When you are loving, love. when you are talking with someone, talk. When you are looking at a flower, look. Catch the beauty of the moment!

I have learned that love is the most powerful force available to us. When we have real love we have the strength to perform miracles.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.

Perfect love is rare indeed.

Love yourself- accept yourself- forgive yourself and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

Force is all conquering, but it’s victories are short lived.

A businessman cannot force you to buy his product; if he makes a mistake, he suffers the consequences; if he fails, he takes the loss. If bureaucrat makes a mistake, you suffer the consequences; if he fails, he passes the loss on to you.

Throughout my lifetime I’ve left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there’s almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent.

I do not think that this [the universe] can be explained only by natural causes, and are forced to impute to the wisdom and ingenuity of an intelligent.

Entrepreneurs are always taking feedback, especially from their customers, bankers, workers, and sales force.

How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!

Despotic governments can stand ‘moral force’ till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.

To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
