Be Royal in your Own Fashion: Act like a King to be treated

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.

I'm afraid I'm just too intense to have soft ideas, you know, about what to read when you're trying to pass the time.

The moment people feel they know what to expect from you, your spell on them is broken.

I am impressed when I go on the internet and see a lot of young people who've been influenced by the books, or I meet someone who tells me how it has changed their life. To me, that is much more real than sales figures.

Win through your actions, never through argument.

If you're really driven and you want something deep, hard enough in life, you're going to get it.
