Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be, become one yourself!

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Envy is admiration laced with resentment.

I've never worried about being rich or famous - for me, it's all about the dancing.

There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know.

Put all your soul into it, play the way you feel!

Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!

If we truly seek diversity in fiction, we have to let the needs of others come before our need to define ourselves as social justice allies.

And I thought, there's a sloth near. There's a sloth here, it's close, it's gonna happen. And I didn't know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment.

It's human nature to want to keep going, but you have to fight against the "I'm just gonna keep doing it" when you know the possibility of not looking great on the way out.

You've been nipping at cook's wine!!

You become great by going small thing in a great way.
