The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers — of persistence, concentration, and insight — to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply.

You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.

The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.

You must be a light unto yourself.

do what is right for you. do it over and over again. lean into the light.

Much of the secret of life consists in knowing how to laugh, and also how to breathe.

Know what sparks the light in you. Then use that light to illuminate the world.

Be a light unto oneself

You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life

To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are.

The secret to happiness...be satisfied and be grateful.

The only essential thing is that we strive to have light in ourselves. Our strivings will be recognized by others, and when people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other’s faces, or to intrude into each other’s hearts.

Your light. The one that goes blink, blink, blink inside your chest when you know what you're doing is right. Listen to it. Trust it. Let it make you stronger than you are.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
