“Simplicity requires ruthlessness.”

The way that you become world-class is… by asking good questions.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of mental laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

You can lose money and make it back, you can’t do that with time.

Role models who push us to exceed our limits, physical training that removes our spare tires, and risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action are all examples of eustress—stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.

Many a false step was made by standing still.

Age doesn’t matter. An open mind does.

It’s not enough to have the right answers. You have to have the right questions.

One can steal ideas, but no one can steal execution or passion.

Reality is negotiable.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

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.

One of the reasons we stay so alone in our lives is because we’re ashamed to talk about the hard stuff. It’s as simple as that. We’re all in pain in different ways, and we don’t get the help we need because we’re too ashamed to talk about the pain.

My message is simple: take control of your life.

You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don’t feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what!

The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful.

First, God does not send people to hell. He simply honors their choice. Hell is the ultimate expression of God’s high regard for the dignity of man. He has never forced us to choose Him, even when that means we would choose Hell.

Rich in saving common-sense, And, as the greatest only are, In his simplicity sublime.

The key is this: Meet today’s problems with today’s strength. Don’t start tackling tomorrow’s problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow’s strength yet. You simply have enough for today.
