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

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.

The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.

People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.

If you don’t have time, you don’t have priorities.

The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit.

What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it.

If the challenge we face doesn’t scare us, then it’s probably not that important.

Just a few words on time management: forget all about it.
