“No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.”

Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?

Show the readers everything, tell them nothing.

You never understand anybody that loves you.

You’ll lose it, if you talk about it.

The first draft of anything is shit.

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

The best writing is certainly when you are in love.

No one ever stopped when they were winning.

When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.

There is no such thing as great writing – there is only great re-writing!

Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?

Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.

Everybody is friends when things are bad enough.

No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist.

The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair.

In my whole career, all I wanted was acceptance from Kid Cudi. I don’t care about nothing else! This dude saved my life.

You wouldn’t worry so much about what other people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

I win because I learned years ago that scared money always loses. I never care, so I win.

Science neither cares to please nor to displease. She is inhuman. It is not science but poetry that charms and consoles. And that is why poetry is more necessary than science.

All I try to do in the press is to be honest about something that I really care about.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
