Action carries more truth than words.

You will learn and grow according to the nature and consequences of your actions.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

A fast way to demolish relationships, shatter credibility and disrespect yourself is by not following through when you say you are going to do something.

There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take for better, for worse, as his portion; that, though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals Utility, or the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Words are more treacherous and powerful than we think.

Born, n. a person who talks when you wish him to listen.

Listen with ears of tolerance, see through the eyes of compassion, speak with language of love.

It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

But all my life through, the very insistence on truth has taught me to appreciate the beauty of compromise.

There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

Without properly kept accounts it is impossible to maintain truth in its pristine purity.
