Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

The Bible says to ‚fear not,‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.

Death is a fearful thing.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

The art is long, life is short.

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.

Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.

War settles nothing.

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.

Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

I am not afraid… I was born to do this.

‚Pure experience‘ is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.

There’s no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go – that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist. Our existence is beyond our understanding. No one has an answer.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.

Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren’t able to live in the place you called home.

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.

Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

Life is a dead-end street.

If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.

Life begins on the other side of despair.

Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
