To change one’s life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.

You make mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you.

In time we hate that which we often fear.

Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.

“Never pray for justice, because you might get some.”

“Fear less. Do more. Get outside and get after it.”

“The best brains of a nation may be found at the last benches of the classroom.”

It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once.

The best way to convince someone is by making him realize that what you speak came from his own mind.

What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have.

Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately, it kills all of its students.

The education of a man is never completed until he dies.

The truth knocks on the door and you say, “Go away, I’m looking for the truth,” and so it goes away.

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence” 

If you want to work on your art, work on your life.

Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
