If you want to do really important things in life and big things in life, you can't do anything by yourself. And your best teams are your friends and your siblings.

Memories are the best things in life, I think.

Happiness is good health and a bad memory.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.

I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

Gaming has been a great way to get to know people. That's part of what I love about games, that they are social.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

Happiness is an inside job.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

Don't forget to love yourself.

There are, as is known, insects that die in the moment of fertilization. So it is with all joy: life's highest, most splendid moment of enjoyment is accompanied by death.

Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences.

It seems essential, in relationships and all tasks, that we concentrate only on what is most significant and important.

Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.

The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.

God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.

Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.

Once you label me you negate me.

What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.

Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.

I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.
