“I particularly approve of and welcome the arrest of millionaire saboteurs in the first and second-class railway carriage.” 

“I had already drawn up the plan for the next, the seventh chapter, on the 'Experience of the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and 1917.' But... It is more pleasant and useful to go through the 'experience of the revolution' than to write about it.” 

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries. 

So perished the hope founded on the wonderful being who thus ceased to be. In the study room to which he was never to return, the water buttercups he had brought from the country were still fresh. 

This abnormal situation resulted in exciting the patriotic feeling of Polish youths to the highest degree. 

“A fool is wise in his eyes.”

There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, nor has he power over the day of death. And there is no discharge in war. Neither shall wickedness deliver him who is given to it.

Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman pulls it down with her own hands.

Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent.

“Who is the wise man? He, who sees what’s going to be born.”

I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness. Foolishness leaves you in the dark. But wise or foolish, we all end up the same... we all die and are soon forgotten.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

"I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.

"The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful." 

"I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury -- unless it's completely debilitating -- I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming."

"When you make a choice and say, 'Come hell or high water, I am going to be this,' then you should not be surprised when you are that. It should not be something that is intoxicating or out of character because you have seen this moment for so long that ... when that moment comes, of course it is here because it has been here the whole time, because it has been [in your mind] the whole time."

We can always kind of be average and do what’s normal. I’m not in this to do what’s normal.

I create my own path. It was straight and narrow. I looked at it this way: you were either in my way, or out of it.

The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real.

We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be.

The moment you give up, is the moment you let someone else win.

I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
