A candy coloured clown they call the sandman Tiptoes into my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and whisper; "Go to sleep, everything is alright"

I may be a living legend, but that sure don't help when I've got to change a flat tire.

People often ask me how would I like to be remembered and I answer that I would simply like to be remembered.

Before you go to sleep, do not forget to say thanks for everything good that has happened to you in the last 24 hours.

Whether I'm in London, Sydney or Hong Kong, it makes no difference. There is always someone who knows me. I must be one of the most unloneliest people in the world!

I close my eyes, then I drift away, into the magic night I softly say. A silent prayer, like dreamers do, then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

Without the word dream, or the concept dream, and without the word blue and the emotions, I would have been really limited in the things I've written and performed.

I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot, love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot

Saving nickels, saving dimes, working 'til the sun don't shine, looking forward to happier times.

Pretty woman, I don't believe you, you're not the truth. No one could look as good as you, mercy.

It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a reason to be happy or sad, you will always find it.

Happiness is an inner perception, not a reality.

Some Buddhists have criticized secular Buddhism because they think it waters down Buddhism. I like to think of it as adding Buddhist flavoring to the sparkling water of secularism.

The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.

Happiness is always the inaccessible castle which sinks in ruin when we set foot on it.

Figure out what past efforts amounted to nothing and label them your "not to do" list. Post the list where you'll see it.

Alone!-that worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard; Yet all that poets sing and grief hath known Of hopes laid waste, knells in that word ALONE!

I won't say 'See you tomorrow' because that would be like predicting the future, and I'm pretty sure I can't do that.

Absolute justice demands that mens incomes and rewards should ... vary, and that some have more than others-so long as human justice is upheld by the provision of equal opportunity for all.

Truth requires a maximum effort to see through the eyes of strangers, foreigners, and enemies.
