I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder; don't work harder.

It isn't enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side.

But the worst of imagining things is that the time comes when you have to stop and that hurts.

Be the master of your fate, be the captain of your soul, but do not hesitate, should the chance befall you, to be the slave of your heart.

This is a confusing and uncertain period, when a thousand wise words can go completely unnoticed, and one thoughtless word can provoke an utterly nonsensical furor.
