“Nothing has happened to you unless you make much of it.”

By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself.

Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.

It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.

Chance is a kind of god, for it preserves many things which we do not observe.

All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.

A man that runs away may fight again.

The character of a man is known from his conversations.

Why should he who is scared be careful?

The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum.

He who labors diligently need never despair for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.

How sweet is life, can we but choose with whom to live it: to live for oneself is no life.

Conscience is a God to all mortals.

Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.

Of all the wild beasts of land or sea, the wildest is woman.

We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.

Art is man’s refuge from adversity.

Opportunity is often missed because we are broadcasting when we should be tuning in.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Master your responses to external events–don’t attempt to control them.

Not everything needs a reaction. Save you energy and care for things that genuinely matter.

Be reactionary. React to what the market wants. And the market wants one-on-one real time engagement. Now that we have the tools to engage, I’m going to continue fighting for the end user.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world.

I work really hard – that doesn’t mean I deserve anything, but it’s really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It’s one of the best feelings.

The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.
