In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.

It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
