I am one of those who are made for exceptions, not for laws.

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.

Everyone may not be good, but there's always something good in everyone. Never judge anyone shortly because every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Love is whole. Love cannot be divided from itself. Love knows all paths, where even gods and cats are blind.

Explaining how much I you is like explaining how the water tastes from the drops of the rain

Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is worth more. [Fr., Rien n'est si dangereux qu'un ignorant ami; Mieux vaudrait un sage ennemi.]

I would never attack somebody only because they belong to a different party.

Fighting the wounds of the past will only deepen those wounds. Relaxation is the method that heals the wounds of the mind, not reaction.

Feel the wounded heart that's underneath the addiction, self-loathing, or anger.

Compromise is such an integral part of being a human being. You're compromising in every decision you make.

Any fool may write a most valuable book by chance, if he will only tell us what he heard and saw with veracity.
