“Wisdom, Happiness, and Courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they're part of a continuous cycle that begins right here. They're not only the ending, but the beginning as well.”

“Endings are not always bad. Most times they're just beginnings in disguise.”

“Wisdom begins at the end.”

“Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.”

“A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.”

“In the end, I've found that it doesn't really matter who you marry. If you like them at the beginning, you probably won't like them at the end. And if you start off hating them, there's always the chance you'll end up thinking they're all right.”

“No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends.”

“Partings are the beginnings of new meetings.

Beginnings happen because there are endings.”

“Happiness begins where selfishness ends.”

“It begins in delight and ends in wisdom. The figure is the same for love.”
