Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.

My goal is to not wake up at age 40 with the bitter realization that I have wasted my life on a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career path in my teens.

If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Wise men talk because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

The only true wisdom is to know that you know nothing.

The future is no place to place your better days.

Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand

“I was thinking lots of things, but most of them needed to stay thoughts, not words.”

‎A wise person is full of questions. A dull person is full of answers.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they make act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."

Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

"We cannot become who we need to be by remaining who we are."

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

We spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need to impress people we don’t care about.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Do not become a man who is successful. Try to become a man of value.

I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
