It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us in joy we face the storm and defy it.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
