We aim above the mark to hit the mark.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something.

Beauty without expression tires.

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination.

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

You don't get strong by standing at the finish line, you get strong with every step you take to get there.

Don’t look at your circumstance. Be courageous!

Evil exists in this world because it has its place. For had you never sat blindly through the darkness of night, your eyes wouldn't turn toward the sunrise to appreciate its warmth and illumination.

Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.

Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.

The prison scandal is really hurting President Bush's poll numbers. In fact, I hear he's already working on his concession smirk.

The book, like the bicycle, is a perfect form.

Being on a movie set is wonderful experience, but it's a bubble - it isn't real life.

I also ask you my friends not to condemn me entirely to the mill of mathematical calculations, and allow me time for philosophical speculations, my only pleasures.

I don't really plan what comes out of my mouth, and that's what makes most of my lyrics entertaining.
