Act without expectation.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

Don’t be ‘a writer’. Be writing.

Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.

You have no idea what your legacy will be. Your legacy is what you do every day. Your legacy is every life you’ve touched, every person whose life was either moved or not. It’s every person you’ve harmed or helped. That’s your legacy.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

Nothing is as harmful as expectations.
