The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

Never compare yourself to somebody else, because you are so different any unique.

I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

Faith is one of the world’s great evils, comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present moment must be enjoyed, comparable to a state of grace.

The only person with whom you have to compare ourselves, is that you in the past. And the only per-son better you should be, this is who you are now.
