“If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.”

When you were in love, you were capable of learning everything and of knowing things you had never dared even to think, because love was the key to understanding all of the mysteries.

When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.

We pretend to be strong because we are weak.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

If someone isn’t what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

It is always important to know when something has reached its end.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.

People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same.

Your eyes show the strength of your soul.

I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.

You free. Nothing and nobody is obliged to save you but you.

Freedom must be distinguished from democracy, with which it is often confused.

I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

Many whites, even white Southerners told me that even though it may have seemed like the blacks were being freed (by my actions) they felt more free and at ease themselves. They thought that my action didn’t just free blacks but them, too.

No man is free who is a slave to the flesh.

He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

All good things are wild and free.
