Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
Be silent or let thy words be worth more than silence.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.
I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than that.
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact
Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
