Ivan Turgenev

Art hath an enemy called Ignorance.

In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.

I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Hard knocks have a place and value, but hard thinking goes farther in less time.

It’s so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

It is bad luck to be superstitious.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

This is the real secret of life – to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he’s held up by the others until he regains his footing.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

If you need a miracle, be a miracle.

The partnership of mind and matter is one which has existed since the beginning of time and cannot be dissolved.

I don’t follow what everybody else does.

Children have helped me a lot.
