Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.

The worst thing in life is boredom. When people don't know what to do with themselves, they are very, very poor.

I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.

Only when we are so old, only, are we aware of the beauty of life.

I felt that this is the only thing which helps me to have hope... a sort of religion, actually. Music is God.

And life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.

I was born optimistic...I was laughing from the beginning of my life.
