That's the secret: be interesting. If you can't be interesting, shut up. There's nothing wrong with silence.

Everything begins with an idea.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

For a person to build a rich and rewarding life for himself, there are certain qualities and bits of knowledge that he needs to acquire. But there are also things — harmful attitudes, superstitions, emotions — that he needs to chip away. A person needs to chip away everything that doesn't look like the person he or she most wants to become.

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.

We may avoid the laws of man, but there are greater laws that can't be broken.

It is our attitude toward life that determines life's attitude toward us. We get back what we put out.
