If the members of a home are ill-temperered and quarrelsome, how quickly you feel it when you enter the house. You may not know just what is wrong, but you wish to make your visit short.

The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.

Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I'll remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.

But in the east the sky was pale and through the gray woods came lanterns with wagons and horses, bringing Grandpa and Grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins.

The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.

No one has ever achieved anything from the smallest to the greatest unless the dream was dreamed first.

It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature.

I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.

I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.

Keep going; never stop; sit tight; Read something luminous at night.

When the crowd appreciates you, it encourages you to be a little more daring, I think.

If you love your heart, this can be transmitted to other people. I mean you can help anybody that wants to do the same.

I cop a fair bit of flack for going from 'such a babe to such a boy'. I wanted to share (that) story.
