“The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.”

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.

The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all.

L.O.V.E. Such a good word. Such a limitless word. Such a limitless concept.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

The most unfortunate thing that happens to a person who fears failure is that he limits himself by becoming afraid to try anything new.

If you don’t like the scene you’re in, if you’re unhappy, if you’re lonely, if you don’t feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.

Happiness and love are just a choice away.

It is when we ask for love less and begin giving it more that the basis of human love is revealed to us.

We need to learn to let go as easily as we grasp and we will find our hands full and our minds empty.

To love others you must first love yourself.

Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don’t.

Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.

Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie’s man’s only promise.

Living, loving & learning.

Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.

Freedom will destroy itself if it is not exercised within some sort of moral framework, somebody of shared beliefs, some spiritual heritage transmitted through the Church, the family, and the school.

Voting is the most powerful right of every citizen and it is our duty to exercise our vote.

My whole life has been a hallow waste, a futile exercise, for no one at death can take anything with them!

I’ve learned to not beat myself up about needing relaxation. To not stress about exercise and doing stuff. It’s important to counterbalance yourself.

Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.

The only rest is moving from one exercise to the next.
