Time is clay; make something.

You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.

Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

Happy people have two things in common. They know exactly what they want and they feel they're moving toward getting it.

Everyone has unique gifts and talents. What you love is what you're gifted at. To be completely happy, to live a completely fulfilled life, you have to do what you love.

Not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone's gift - yours and mine.

Doing your own thing is a generous act. Being gifted creates obligations, which means you owe the world your best effort at the work you love. You too are a natural resource.

You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

The most insupportable of tyrannies is that of inferiors.

Freedom [is] the first-born daughter of science
