Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them.

One of the great tragedies in human life is to be born a male and not be guided toward the value of a man.

If Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer were alive today, we’d say they had ADD or a conduct disorder. They [boys] are who they are, and we need to love them for who they are. Let’s not try to rewire them.

Bring your work back to the workshop twenty times. Polish it continuously, and polish it again.

Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

It is in the very heart of our activity that we search for our goal.

Most procrastination is largely indecision. Someone has said that "hell is just truth seen too late."
