To enjoy life, you don’t need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren’t as serious as you make them out to be.

I believe that life exists to be enjoyed, and that the most important thing is to feel good about yourself.

Most of the time, “What should I do with my life?” is a terrible question.

You are the author of your own life, and it’s never too late to replace the stories you tell yourself and the world.

The 80-hour-per-week, 500 000$-per-year investment banker is less “powerful” than the employed New Rich who works 1/4 the hours for 40 000$, but has complete freedom of when, where, and how to live.

The best results I have had in my life; the most enjoyable times, have all come from asking the simple question: What is the worst that could happen?

Life would be boring if we all followed exactly the same rules.

I’ve had a life full of doubts… mostly for no good reason.

Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. 

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

We're still in a recession. We're not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.

If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.

I sent one e-mail in my life. I sent it to Jeff Raikes at Microsoft, and it ended up in court in Minneapolis, so I am one for one.

There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it

We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.

Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

Everyone's life is a warfare, and that long and various.

Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind.

Epictetus being asked how a man should give pain to his enemy answered, By preparing himself to live the best life that he can.

Give me by all means the shorter and nobler life, instead of one that is longer but of less account!

Don't live by your own rules, but in harmony with nature

“To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime.” 

“To be alive──is Power.” 

“Tis not that dieing hurts us so- tis living- hurts us more.”
