Happiness is not by chance, but by choice.
Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.
Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.
Depression isn't just being a bit sad. It's feeling nothing. It's not wanting to be alive anymore.
The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist.
Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Often really what you need is someone who will believe in you, who will encourage you to believe in yourself.
I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.
The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.
The majority of the things that I do, I'm actually afraid to do, but you just have to have a positive attitude and block out any fears that you have.
Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Those who truly love us will never knowingly ask us to be other than we are
My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself, but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.
Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn't understood.
Forgiving is not forgetting; its actually remembering--remembering and not using your right to hit back. Its a second chance for a new beginning. And the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you dont want to repeat what happened.
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.
There's not too many people that don't think I'm crazy, for walking away from so much money. I'm at a restaurant with my wife, it's a nice restaurant, we're eating dinner. I look across the room, I say, 'You see this guy over here, across the room? He has $100 million.' And we're eating the same entree. So, OK, fine, I don't have $50 million or whatever it was, but say I have $10 million in the bank. The difference in lifestyle is miniscule.
Money is the fuel for choices. Money gives me choices, so it's not nothing, it's something. But it's not the end all, be all. There are other things in my life that I did not purchase with money that are very valuable.
There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.
If you push through the hard days you can get through anything.
