A useless life is an early death.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

The world is a comedy to those that think, and a tragedy to those that feel.

Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the now the primary focus of your life.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
