Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food!
