- Professional success requires more than talent.
Among other things, it requires drive, initiative,
commitment, involvement, and--above all--enthusiasm.
- We come to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning
to see an imperfect person perfectly. It's all about acceptance.
- The truth is more important than the facts.
- A good rule for going through life is to keep the heart a little softer than
the head.
- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
- Never doubt that a small group of committed people can
change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
- No life can be barren which hears the whisper of the wind in the
branches, or the voice of the sea as it breaks upon the shore; and no
soul can lack happiness looking up to the midnight stars.
- You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you.
You are right because your data and reasoning are right.
- The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic;
the passions that we feel expand it,
those that we inspire contract it;
and habit fills up what remains.
