To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

Cultivate the habit of laughter.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?
