Treat everyone as if they were a guest in your own house, because in reality, they are a guest in your own world.

What will your children be teaching your grandchildren?

Insight emerges out of silence.

If you want to change the world, start with the next person who comes to you in need.

Scream in silence. Dance in stillness.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.

A man can’t ‘just be friends’ with another woman. Period.

As parents we’re not nearly as computer literate as our children are.

We teach people how to treat us.

Am I ever gonna grow a thick skin? No.

Never trust anyone who wants what you’ve got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

Who we are now is all that really matters.

I didn’t start a war. Nobody died.

The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents.

We tell lies when we are afraid, . . . afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.

I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.

I think it’s the way you sparkle when you talk about the things you love.

What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.
