If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people, when you meet them you think, "Not bad. They're okay." And then you get to know them and... and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

It is very important that you only do what you love to do. You may be poor, you may go hungry, you may lose your car, you may have to move into a shabby place to live, but you will totally live. And at the end of your days you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I really need it.

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you, for exactly what you are.
Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass.
That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

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

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
