In a crazy world, it's only your insanity that will keep you sane

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

I don't see why it matters what is written. Not when it's about people. It can always be crossed out.

There is a lot to do in life than to get bored with.

And you are with us and one of us, and we are the people of the moon and the stars.

The prettier the wine bottle, the higher the likelihood sorority girls will buy it.

The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.

A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.

I sometimes think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

I'm dancing to the music of the madness inside me.

A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life.

Art is the conveyance of spirit by means of matter.
