All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.
It doesn't matter what you believe just so long as you're sincere.
No problem is too big to run away from.
There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.

Funny/Great Bob Newhart Quotes
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
It was a decision to work clean. I just prefer to work that way. I have no problem with comedians who don't work that way. There was a temptation in the early '70s to reconsider. I decided against it.
This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now.
When I started out in 1960, I thought it might possibly last a couple of years. I never expected it to last 42. I take great satisfaction in that longevity.

Quotes from Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Where there is love there is life.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
