Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.
