Each of us visits this Earth involuntarily, and without an invitation. For me, it is enough to wonder at the secrets.

God always takes the simplest way.

Beauty and health are the chief sources of happiness.

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

I always get by best with my naivety, which is 20 percent deliberate.

The search for truth is more precious than its possession.

I believe in one thing, that only a life lived for others is a life worth living.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifest itself in nature.

Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.

This life is not such that we ought to complain when it comes to an end for us or for a loved one; rather, we may look back in satisfaction when it has been bravely and honorably withstood.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there’s no risk of accident for someone who’s dead.

Life ain’t always beautiful, but it’s a beautiful ride.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

One lives one’s life under constant tension, until it is time to go for good. 

A person starts to live when he can live outside himself. 

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

But he who dares not grasp the thorn. Should never crave the rose.

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.

I firmly believe that love [of a subject or hobby] is a better teacher than a sense of duty – at least for me.

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

If you foolishly ignore beauty, then you will soon find yourself without it.

The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; of false, that it lessens.
