Follow your heart but take your brain with you.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

An irresistible passion that would induce me to believe in innate ideas and the truth of prophecy has decided my career. I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man with the passion of a lover and with the conviction of a geometrician.

Why has government been instituted? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason & justice without constraint.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

At the end of the day, we can endure more than we think we can.

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

It is a very great thing to be able to think as you like; but, after all, an important question remains: what you think.
