“Do what you have to do so that you can be what you want to be”

“Words bounce. Words, if you let them, will do what they want to do and what they have to do.”

“Through the use of books I had the whole world at my feet: could travel anywhere, meet anyone, and do anything.”

“Do you really want to be happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got.”

“I meditated on love and reasoned it out. I realized what is wrong with us. Men fall in love for the first time. And what do they fall in love with? ...They fall in love with a woman. They start at the wrong end of love. They begin at the climax. Can you wonder it is so miserable? Do you know how men should love? A tree. A rock. A cloud.”

“How can you get very far,If you don't know who you are?How can you do what you ought,If you don't know what you've got?And if you don't know which to doOf all the things in front of you,Then what you'll have when you are throughIs just a mess without a clueOf all the best that can come trueIf you know What and Which and Who.”

“Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
