Can we conceive what humanity would be if it did not know the flowers?

I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.

When you finally go back to your old hometown, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood.

A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.

Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. 

I've always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it's also been about confidence and faith.

Because that's what kindness is. It's not doing something for someone else because they can't, but because you can.

There's only one true superpower amongst human beings, and that is being funny. People treat you differently if you can make them laugh.

Family is just accident.... They don’t mean to get on your nerves. They don’t even mean to be your family, they just are.

We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic.

The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others.

Those who are quite satisfied sit still and do nothing; those who are not quite satisfied are the sole benefactors of the world.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person.

A lot of parents pack up their troubles and send them off to summer camp.

The good times of today are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.

I love how summer just wraps it’s arms around you like a warm blanket.

Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile.

The best style is the style you don't notice.

Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it.

The reason so many people never get anywhere in life is because, when opportunity knocks, they are out looking for four-leaf clovers.

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life.

When the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may be that they take better care of it there.

Face what you think you believe and you will be surprised.
