Only a life of goodness and honesty leaves us feeling spiritually healthy and human.

I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending, that haunts our sleep so much as the fear that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.

We don't have to be afraid of dying because it's not really death that scares us. We are afraid of not having lived.

There are some things we should feel guilty about, but the guilt feelings should attach to the deed, not to the doer.

People are so busy chasing happiness- if they would slow down and turn around, they would give it a chance to catch up with them.

The circumstances of your life have uniquely qualified you to make a contribution. And if you don't make that contribution, nobody else can make it.

I suspect that the happiest people you know are the ones who work at being kind, helpful and reliable - and happiness sneaks into their lives while they are busy doing those things. It is a by-product, never a primary goal.
