If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

Remember, the first road to God is prayer, the second is joy.

We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.

People who are different are dangerous; they belong to another tribe; they want our lands and our women.

When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.

Usually the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives.

Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs.
