“Time flames like a paraffin stove / and what burns are the minutes I live.”

“Since I no longer expect anything from mankind except madness, meanness, and mendacity; egotism, cowardice, and self-delusion, I have stopped being a misanthrope.”

“So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”

“Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.”

“I believe how I live my life every day is my act of worship.”

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than feel. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we'll change the world.”
