The only thing tragedy gives us is the opportunity to rebuild our life.
Time does not always pass at the same speed. We are the ones who determine that speed.
You can only learn when you teach.
The devil is in the detail.
It is important never to relax, however far you have come.
Everyone has their own way of learning.
We are neither worse nor better than those who eye us critically.
No man is an island. To fight the good fight we need help.
Death does not allow us to postpone all the things we can experience now.
Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.
Eat when it is time to eat. And walk when it is time to walk.
You will not find the treasure of your Personal Legend unless you want to live that Legend.
How does light enter a person? Through the open door of love.
Feelings form part of a world in which time, space and frontiers do not exist.
