I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.

Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process.

You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.

During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.

A single fantasy can transform a million realities.

A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.
