Words worth keeping

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.

Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.

Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself.

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...

They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!

Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.

People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.

make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
