The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

No man is born unto himself alone; who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.

The better you are at communicating negotiating, and handling your fear of rejection, the easier life is.

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.

Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.

Old age is no place for sissies.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.
