Before you look to blame another, look within yourself, for at some point you have not listened to your own instincts.

It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.

Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it.

A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.

You cannot grow unless you are willing to change. You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be.

One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well being of the people in your life.

Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves.

It all begins with you. If you do not take care of yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life.

All things pass and pain is temporary. It comes to teach a lesson and when the lesson is understood it disappears into the night.

The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still, when silence speaks loudest.

The day you stop worrying will be the first day of your new life; anxiety takes you in circles, trust in yourself and become free.

Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.

I have a very childish attitude to books - a very non-analytic enthusiasm... like Alice falling down the chute.

I'm going to slow down a little bit, but I won't stop creating. I can't!

Morality is nothing but a struggle for safety

I was born old and get younger every day. At present I am sixty years young.

I hated being a child because to be a child means that you are essentially the property of your parents, benevolently or not.

Nature rejects the monarch, not the man; the subject, not the citizen... The man of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.

One should indeed read Pope with his notes available, in the Twickenham edition possibly, to see what a vast amount he did understand about Homer.
