The world won't give you any gifts. If you want to have a life, steal it.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

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