In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow -- and that is likely to hurt. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. The longer you stay in one place, the greater your chance of disillusionment. Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count. The dreamers are the saviors of the world. I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am in. Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. It is never too late to be what you might have been. He who cannot forgive others destroys a bridge over which he himself must pass. It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something. What may be done at any time will be done at no time. The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. In times like these it helps to recall there have always been times like these. Say what you want to say when you have the feeling and the chance. My greatest regrets are the things I did not do, the opportunities missed and the things unsaid. We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it. It is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich. If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. The true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good. Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional. We cannot avoid pain, but we can avoid joy. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. And one extra for good luck: Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.
