Someday is someday, and maybe it will be or maybe it won't. This is a human thing, to worry about things that may or may not come to be. You can't eat meat until you've killed it.

Boredom is vastly underrated. Boredom means that nothing is trying to kill you every day.

Anticipating pain was like enduring it twice. Why not anticipate pleasure instead?

Leave the pain behind and let your life be your own again. There is a place where all time is now, and the choices are simple and always your own. Wolves have no kings

There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.

Stop longing.You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.

When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool you end up looking like a moron instead.

Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.

Diplomacy is the velvet glove that cloaks the fist of power.

It is of course the nature of historical contraction that the shortest distance to a historical destination is never a straight line.

A healthy sweat comes from being passionate and throwing yourself into your workout. And again, it's achieving that intensity. I always like to say 'It's not how long, it's how strong'.

Get ready for the future: it is murder.

You have this idea that you'd better keep working otherwise people will forget. And that was dangerous. And then you realize, no, actually if you take a break people might be more interested in you.
