"Life is short. Kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly"
"The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one."

"Don't forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy Skies."
"There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there."
"The Warrior knows about the "waterfall effect"."
"I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy."
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
