Seek other people's advice, but don't take orders. And don't take 100% of anyone's advice. Make sure every decision you make is a product of your own conclusion. Be a student, not a disciple.

Don't ask for life to be easy. Ask for it to be worth it.

Somebody says, 'Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself' Well, then you will always be poor.

What kind of influence do you want to have? What kind of effect do you want to have on other people? Never mistake the power of influence.

'No' puts distance between you and the wrong influence.

You say, 'The country is messed up.' That's like cursing the soil and the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which is all you've got. Don't curse all you've got. When you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole deal. This one you've got to take like it comes.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
