Words are like diamonds. Polish them too much, and all you get are pebbles.

Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention.

. . . besides love, independence of thought is the greatest gift an adult can give a child.

I have found in life that everything, no matter how bad, comes to an end.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. There comes a time in everything when you don't know something.

The man assumes the role of the loner, the thinker and the searching spirit who calls the privileged and the powerful to task. The power of one was the courage to remain separate, th think through the truth and not be beguiled by convention or the plausible arguments of those who expect to maintain power, whatever the cost.

Let me conclude by saying in my experience the glittering prizes in life come more to those who persevere despite setback and disappointment than they do to the exceptionally gifted who, with the confidence of the talents bestowed upon them, often pursue the tasks leading to success with less determination.
