You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded.

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
