As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health - food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

The people are applauding you because none of them understands you and applauding me because everybody understands me.

Tomorrow, the birds will sing. Be brave. Face life.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret.

In the end, everything is a gag.

I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful.
