Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Live for each second without hesitation.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.
