“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.”

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight

The greatest things in life are not things, but moments.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

You can’t fall if you don’t climb. But there’s no joy in living your whole life on the ground.

Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
