"Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit." "When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is any thing you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it." "Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you." "The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self." "The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others." "The smart man, learns from his mistakes.The wise man, learns from the smart mans mistakes." "Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth." "You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where do you stand?!" "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." "Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends." "To be mature means to face, and not evade, every fresh crisis that comes." "A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go..." The man who insists on seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides... Live, Like you will die tomorrow, Learn, Like you will live forever.... The more power we procure, the greater the responsibility we bear, toward others as well as ourselves ... Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure... I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.... "There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity" .... Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power..... Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.... "The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble." To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life may as well be dead.... The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want... Those who do not remember the past are destined to repeat it!!!!!! "He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce." "Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece." He who praises you for what you lack wishes to take from you what you have. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. "While there's life, there's hope!" Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might error.
