There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Here is the secret of inspiration: tell yourself that thousands and tens of thousands of people, not very intelligent and certainly no more intelligent than the rest of us, have mastered problems as difficult as those that now baffle you.

Everything you can imagine is real.

You cannot wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and absolute freedom-freedom from violence and falsehood, no matter how the last two manifest themselves.
