How long you live is less important than how healthy you are along the way.

When you hit your 40s, you begin to take notice of the effects of aging because people that you know begin to die of heart attacks and tumors, so we take notice of the effects of aging.

We're not trying to make us live forever; we're not trying to even make us live significantly longer. What we're trying to do is extend the period of healthy life.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
