Leo Tolstoy

I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that i am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all means possible….except by getting off his back.

I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.

Love those you hate you.

Kings are the slaves of history.

The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

Positive anything is better than negative thinking.

One of the hardest things for a parent to have to do is to tell your children that your other parent has died.

You have to figure out what that is, and you have to make a plan to get to it. And the plan has got to have a timeline. You have to choose something that you can afford to do and then lock it in and passionately do it.

Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

Know your goal, make a plan and pull the trigger.

A man is as old as his arteries.

Stand up and walk out of your history.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

I remember thinking during those times that I wanted to write in a way where there are no rules.

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

To resent efficiency is a mark of inefficiency.

You have to name it to claim it.

Pies, para que los quiero si tengo alas para volar. (“Feet, what do I need them for if I have wings to fly.”)
