I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.

Live life to the fullest. You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece. Laugh some every day. Keep growing, keep dreaming, keep following your heart. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.

But love brings much happiness - much more so than pining brings pain.

Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
