The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

If the risk is fully aligned with your purpose and mission, then it’s worth considering.
