If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

It's the people who follow the rules that struggle with them the most.

Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you, for exactly what you are.
Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass.
That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Do not go where the path may lead: go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt; sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.
