Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

Pay attention, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.

The life so short, the craft so long to learn.

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still ‚mom-in-chief.‘ My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

It is most unwise for people in love to marry.

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

It’s hard for anybody who’s been with me not to feel starved for affection when I’m making love to my ideas. Maybe it’s not meant for me to settle down and be married.

Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

I find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

He that has not got a wife is not yet a complete man.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.

Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.

We cannot wish for that we know not.

One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life – knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

I think I’ve got wiser.

The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

I was adored once too.

I don’t have a type. I don’t have a specific kind of human being. It’s just kind of an X-factor of sorts. Everybody I’ve ever dated has been a case-by-case situation.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

If every man loves his mother, he’s going to treat the ladies right, with love and respect.

If someone decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.

Normally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That’s definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems.

You bring children into the world. You love them with heart and soul.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.

Logically, harmony must come from the heart… Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.

The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

The reason children accept discipline from their parents is because they know their parents love them.

Use, do not abuse… neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding.

The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.

What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.

The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.

The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.
