Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Life is too short to work so hard.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
