The closer one gets to realizing his destiny, the more that destiny becomes his true reason for being.

I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: 'Oh my God, what a blessing.' Then you realise it's important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.

Be proud of your scars. They remind you that you have the will to live.

There must be a language that doesn't depend on words.

A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place.

Respect your body: you can only climb a mountain if you give your body the attention it deserves. You have all the time that life grants you, as long as you walk without demanding what can't be granted. If you go too fast you will grow tired and give up half way there. If you go too slow, night will fall and you will be lost. Enjoy the scenery, take delight in the cool spring water and the fruit that nature generously offers you, but keep on walking.

One day you will wake up & there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.
