“The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.”

It isn’t enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

If you spend your time, worth $20-25 per hour, doing something that someone else will do for $10 per hour, it’s simply a poor use of resources.

Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.

To do the impossible, you need to ignore the popular.

Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.

Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.

A goal without real consequences is wishful thinking. Good follow-through doesn’t depend on the right intentions. It depends on the right incentives.

Most people can do absolutely awe-inspiring things. Sometimes they just need a little nudge.

Poisonous people do not deserve your time. To think otherwise is masochistic.

Being busy is a form of laziness – lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.

United you will be more than a match for your enemies. But if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you.

You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.

Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked.

Concerning non-violence: it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.

No, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.

The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points.

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

I’m motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.
