We’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

We’re so caught up in trying to do everything, experience all the essential things, not miss out on anything important...We can’t read all the good books, watch all the good films, go to all the best cities in the world, try all the best restaurants, meet all the great people...Life is better when we don’t try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.

We are perishing for want of wonder, not for want of wonders.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Before you determine to do it, you have difficulty, but once you start to do it, you have none.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit, while genius hits a target that no one else can see.

Everyone Is a Genius"
..."But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."

In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software. It's really that simple: Program, or be programmed.

Work either expands or contracts in order to fill the time available.

If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed.

If you don’t jump, the wings never come.

Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That’s why it’s so hard.

I don’t think when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it’s a selecting process, knowing what’s the most important and what’s the least. And then be a simple man.

Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
