“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

You always own the option of having no opinion.

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life.

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.

Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm.

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

If you do different, you will have different. If you begin to require more of yourself, that in and of itself is different.

When you finally let go peace begins to flow.

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Here was a chimpanzee using a tool. That was object modification- the crude beginning of tool making.

I loved you in pain and when I began to bleed I called it magic.

When we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don’t do it at all.

Ran out of time, before we even began. How long will the road not taken be starved of footprints?

A First Sign of the Beginning of Understanding is the Wish to Die.
