Few are the friends of a mans self, most those of his circumstances.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.

He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterwards.

Self-reflection is the school of wisdom.

The wise have a solid sense of silence and the ability to keep a storehouse of secrets. Their capacity and character are respected.

Know or listen to those who know.

To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

There are friendships merely for pleasure, some for the exchange of ideas. Rarest are those friends of one's inmost self.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation for integrity.

The energy of life is force of faith.

...death is inevitable for all of us. The only thing that really matters in the end is how we choose to live.

I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling, when I'm not famous any more.

Caring, whether for children or the dying, shouldn't be instrumental. It should be an intrinsic, moral good.

Circumstances may accumulate so strongly even against an innocent man, that directed, sharpened, and pointed, they may slay him.

I listen to my stomach. It tells me when I am starving.

I'm an old man now. I can't believe it. I'm listening to all sorts because I'm producing people.

And in the evening, everywhere Along the roadside, up and down, I see the golden torches flare Like lighted street-lamps in the town.

I don't want to be skinny. I'm constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don't beat myself up over it.

When you really want love you will find it waiting for you.
