James Watson

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

Not all those who wander are lost.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.

The best revenge is massive success.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
