All this misjudgment that we have of each other is based on ignorance. The second you get to travel, you see that human beings, no matter where they come from, they are the same.

Life is too short to be lived badly.

The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.

All big changes of the world come from words.

Drawing is the first language of the human being before writing. It's a transcription of how the human being sees reality, not reality itself.

Executives are constrained not by resources but by their imagination.

Always be looking for that which you do well and that which you love doing, and when you find those two things together — man, you got it.

The Path is not far from man. When men try to pursue a course, which is far from the common indications of consciousness, this course cannot be considered The Path.

There are only two perfectly useless things in this world. One is an appendix and the other is Poincaré.

I said to myself, 'You're a man from a humble background, what you didn't learn in school, you'll learn now. Catch up.

Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.

I note the derogatory rumors concerning the use of alcoholic stimulants and lavish living. It is the penalty of greatness.
