“Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible — not to have run away.”

“One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.”

“Your greatest strength, Ray, and possibly your only strength, is in pretending that you don't understand simple things.”

“But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.”

“The only right you have with anyone in life is the right to walk away.”

“What you can't run away from, you have to face”

“To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.”

“Listen to what the heart has to say. It is not going to run your life. The heart's message is so simple. It's not going to tell you that you should buy this color jacket, and this color car and this color house. Heart only has one thing to say to you, 'Be fulfilled.' This is all it ever has wanted, and this is the only demand the heart has for you. What have we done with ourselves? We have made ourselves slaves of the past and the future. Take away the future, which doesn't yet exist, and the past that has disappeared. Be fulfilled now, in this moment.”

“As Seneca put it, life does not pause to remind you that it is running out. The only one who can keep you mindful of this is you.”

“Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
