Aristotle Onassis

When you embark for strange places don’t leave any of yourself safely at the shore… Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.

If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.

Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

I take my only exercise acting as a pallbearer at the funerals of my friends who exercise regularly.

As I get older, I just prefer to knit.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Whenever you get the idea that you are ‘fixed’ or that anything is ‘fixed’ for life, you’d better get ready for a sudden change.

It’s not the time to look for excuses.

Life has two rules: 1. Never quite 2. Always remember 1.

There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat.
