How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

No house should ever be on any hill or on anything. It should be of the hill, belonging to it, so hill and house could live together each the happier for the other.

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

Unless above himself he can erect himself, how poor a thing is man!

You don't have to be big or well known to be great.

It never ceases to amaze me: We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely enjoy exercising authority usually lose it.
