You can’t always be in the reaping stage or the harvest stage of life. Life has seasons.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

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

Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.
