 A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images. |
| If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. |
| Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. |
| It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions. |
| Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming. |
| The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch. |
| If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. |
| The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. |
| Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy. |
| Money is usually attracted, not pursued. |
| There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important. |
| The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - never knowing. |
| The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get. |
| Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process. |
| If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. |
| The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path. |
| We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. |
| The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. |
| When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it. |
| You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour. |
