“Never whine, never complain, never try to justify yourself.”

Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter.

When our emotions are engaged, we often have trouble seeing things as they are.

There’s no more of an excuse for blaming other people or the world for at least not trying what you should be trying.

It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause by yourself. By maintaining your independence, you become the master of others — playing people against one another, making them pursue you.

Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent

Some people are a little bit better than others, some people are great, some people are superior. It depends on the level of effort.

True genius, in strategy or anywhere, lies in self-control, self-mastery, presence of mind, fluidity of thought.

Your unhappiness is a way of speaking to you, it’s telling you something isn’t right.

Hasty climbers have sudden falls.

I just know who I am and what’s comfortable for me and I don’t personally do things in life because others do it or because that’s what society tells me I should do.

If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Become who you are by learning who you are.

Mistakes and failures are precisely your means of education. They tell you about your own inadequacies.

Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you’re not creative with and you’re not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.

A lot of, a big problems that people have nowadays is that they can’t stand moments of no stimulation in their life so they’re constantly lurking, looking for entertainment, video games.

When a young man complains that a young lady has no heart, it’s pretty certain that she has his.

If I don’t like something that’s going on in my life, I change it. And I don’t sit and complain about it for a year.

There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life.

What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.

To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life.

I’ve wanted one thing for me whole life and I’m not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.
