There is a master way with words that cannot be learned but instead developed: a deaf man develops exceptional vision, a blind man exceptional hearing, a silent man, when given a piece of paper.

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.

When a man is penalized for honesty he learns to lie.

Let your confidence reflect your contentedness.

The man who is most aggressive in teaching tolerance is the most intolerant of all: he wants a world full of people too timid and ashamed to really disagree with anything.

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.

No mark survives this place: you too will yieldto unmemory.

Tell one your thoughts, but beware of two. All know what is known to three

Tonight I feel like a shooting star, but I hope my shine will last much longer.

The real secret of magic lies in the performance.

You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I'd end up feeling totally insecure about myself.

The secret is planning your work and working your plan. If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive? You can't stumble upon your destination.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.

I wanted to be a writer, but the idea of writing novels or movies seemed really intimidating. I never got more than a few pages into one.

I like cluttered, old, dark-wood antiques. I like character.

The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.
