There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
