Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

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

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

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

May you live all the days of your life.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.
