I like giving. Doing something for somebody else feels good Picture Quote #1

See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see - out of fear, conformity, or laziness. See the whole world anew each day Picture Quote #1

I want to live in a world where people become famous because of their work for peace and justice and care. I want the famous to be inspiring; their lives an example of what every human being has it in them to do - act from love! Picture Quote #1

Humor is an antidote to all ills Picture Quote #1

I’ve taken clowns into the war in Bosnia, the refugee camps of Kosovo, and none of those are any more important than clowning in a subway or an elevator or just walking down the street Picture Quote #1

Unlike a lot of people, I don’t feel powerless. I know I can do something. But anyone can do something, it’s not about being special. It’s about deciding to do it - to dive into work for peace and justice and care for everybody on the planet Picture Quote #1

At the age of 18, I made up my mind to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into a endless sea of gratitude from which I’ve never emerged Picture Quote #1

Clowning is a trick to get love close. I can hug 99 percent of people in the first second of contact if I’m in my clown character. The clown assumes your humanity. It assumes that, whatever trauma you’ve had, you can still love yourself Picture Quote #1
