I am not convinced within myself that to its core and as a whole, humanity has, as some like to assume, progressed a great deal over the millennia. Human technology? Of course. Human beings? Hardly.

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.

When a man is penalized for honesty he learns to lie.

Let your confidence reflect your contentedness.

The man who is most aggressive in teaching tolerance is the most intolerant of all: he wants a world full of people too timid and ashamed to really disagree with anything.

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.

The weather is nature's disruptor of human plans and busybodies. Of all the things on earth, nature's disruption is what we know we can depend on, as it is essentially uncontrolled by men.

If you can't see the assets in you, it will be hard for you to export it to the world. Recognise who you are and the world will recognise you.

Babies cry at birth because it is the first time they experience separation from love.

Love is the source of all creation

I should never have made my success in life if I had not bestowed upon the least thing I have ever undertaken the same attention and care that I have bestowed upon the greatest.

Your experiences are not limited to what you have created in the past

Our civilization is first and foremost a civilization of means; in the reality of modern life, the means, it would seem, are more important than the ends.

Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.

The shoulder surgery was a success. The lobotomy failed.

Let he who would move the world, first complete an environmental impact assessment and a 90-day public comment period.

I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
