Those who understand others are clever, those who understand themselves are wise.

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.

Those who are right do not argue. Those who argue are not right.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

In every great novel, who is the hero all the time? Not any of the characters, but some unnamed and nameless flame behind them all.

God's creature is one. He makes man, not men. His true creature is unitary and infinite, revealing himself, indeed, in every finite form, but compromised by none.

You can feel yourself trying too hard, doing too much. Nobody wants to watch somebody when they're needy, and actors are in the unfortunate position of needing to be cast and needing to be liked.

I've never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person.

When I stop at a stop sign, I don’t think about the distance I’ve crossed. I just wish I never had to stop.
