The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.

We have to get children to understand that not only do they have this incredible uniqueness, but they also have something that sometimes we forget about. They are also potentiality. They are much more undiscovered than they are discovered. And there's the wonder of it. It doesn't matter where they are, they're only just beginning and the big magical trip of life is digging it all out and discovering the wonderful you.

He who remains calm while those around him panic probably doesn't know what's going on.

There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.

Life is our greatest possession and love its greatest affirmation.

Success often lies just the other side of failure.

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
