Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.

The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.

You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.
