The object of the superior man is truth.

Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.

Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.

It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

Share our similarities, celebrate our differences.

Take care of the pieces well. The whole will take care of itself.

Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.

I have no desire to make windows into mens souls

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

He who is slowest in making a promise is most faithful in its performance.

To do great things is difficult, but to command great things is more difficult.

He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

I mistrust the judgement of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
