Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
Is life so wretched? Isn't it rather your hands which are too small, your vision which is muddled? You are the one who must grow up.
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
What you can't get out of, get into wholeheartedly.
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.
It is often better to have a great deal of harm happen to one than a little; a great deal may rouse you to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure.
If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
