Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.

Avoid long speeches. The less a man knows, the longer he takes to tell it.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.

Identity can both be a burden and an asset.

Figure out what you want, and learn how to ask for it.

Adversity is always intermittent; and therefore if effort is constant, you are bound to win.

To be successful, one has to pit one's wits not against people, but against life.

Never be dismissive of the young. Never be contemptuous of the old.

It's the simple things in life that keep us from going crazy: a pigeon in the skylight, sunshine, birdsong, the bedside book, the potted geranium..

If there is absolute truth somewhere, this statement must be one of them.

There are definite limits on a man’s wisdom, but absolutely no limits on his stupidity.

Fame is like the wind. It blows in all directions, then vanishes without warning.

There is nothing to get in this life, either you lived immensely or you missed out.

If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?

A fool always tries to appear wise. The wise man is not afraid to play the clown.

Your point of view in life is not absolute. It is relative to the position you are in.

The greatest truths are full of fiction, the greatest fiction is full of truths.

The world is only the size of each man's head.

If you have good health, you are young; and if you owe nothing, you are rich.

Never seek to tell thy love, love that never told can be; for the gentle wind does move silently, invisibly. - William Blake

Good or bad make a choice. Dont let time make it.

All that glitters is definitely, definitely not gold.

When a man says money can do anything, that settles it. He hasn’t any.

Select wisely the person you must live with forever—yourself.

There is skill in everything, even in making porridge.

We don't have to circle the world to find beauty and fulfillment, after all most of the living has to happen in the mind.

Experience is the knowledge that enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it a second time.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

The difficult can be done immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.

Adversity is always intermittent; and therefore, if effort is constant, you are bound to win.

If you have good health, you are young; and if you owe nothing, you are rich.

Well begun is half done. Yes, but remember half done is half done.

It is good that others should succeed. Do not allow their success to cast a shadow on your own efforts.

Before you get upset, ask yourself: Does it really matter?

Destiny is simply the strength of your desires.

Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.

A true thing poorly expressed is a lie.

What if you are unemployed?

People go broke trying to look rich. Act your wage.

You are always under debt. That's fine, everybody is. You shouldn't try to clear the debt, that's just bad for taxes.

Don't be afraid of going slow, be afraid of standing stagnant.

If it's not going to matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5 minutes for it.

The only truly educated is the self educated.

Consider yourself dead that you have completed your life up to the present time; then start living as though your life has been gifted to you again.

Always better in the long run.

Do you want to be right, or do you want to win?

Most people are better than life allows them to be.

Work objectively if you want to be persistent.

What is truly beautiful, needs no adorning. #selfmusing
