In chess, as in life, opportunity strikes but once.

The most powerful weapon in Chess is to have the next move

To lose one's objective attitude to a position, nearly always means ruining your game.

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

A game of chess is not an examination of knowledge; it is a battle of nerves.

Chess is imagination.

When you play against an experienced opponent who exploits all the defensive resources at his command you sometimes have to walk time and again, along the narrow path of 'the only move'.

Nowadays grandmasters no longer study their opponent's games so much, but they study his character, his behaviour and his temperament in the most thorough fashion.

Far from all of the obvious moves that go without saying are correct.

Theory regards this opening as incorrect, but it is impossible to agree with this. Out of the five tournament games played by me with the King's Gambit, I have won all five.

Even in the heat of a middlegame battle the master still has to bear in mind the outlines of a possible future ending.

Just 'cause there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's not a fire inside.

You never know what's around the next corner... So keep walking!

The old are often forgotten. Life moves on without a care for those who wish to remain in the past. We tend to talk too much because it’s rare that we’re listened to.

Just tell me you don't love me, and I'll let the matter drop.""What?""What I said. Just say, 'Rai, I don't love you and I never will'. It's that simple.""Raisa, this is getting us nowhere.""Say it!

Nora knows better than most that nothing lasts forever. Life doesn't, love doesn't, hope doesn't, so why would death, hate, or despair? Nothing is permanent. Not even the end of the world.

In order to achieve anything, you must be brave enough to fail.

Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for it.

Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.

Most corporate decisions aren't going to meet the test of high validity. But they're going to be way above the low-validity situations that we worry about.

But at power or wealth, for the sake of which wars, and all kinds of strife, arise among mankind, we do not aim; we desire only our liberty, which no honorable man relinquishes but with his life.
