“Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone's attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process.”

“Collect, process, organize & review what has your attention, so you can stop half-trying to be doing all that, constantly.”

“Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, the never get around to doing what they want to do.”

“It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.”

“Alek said, "Do you think I'm being a fool?"

"I think you're trying to do something good. But doing good is rarely easy, and no weapon has ever stopped a war.”

“If you want someone to tell you what to think…"

"You will never be short of people willing to do so.”

“If you try to use your head to think about things, people don't want to have anything to do with you”

“People get a bad impression of it by continually trying to treat it as if it was a bank clerk, who ought to be on time on Tuesday next, instead of philosophically seeing it as a painter, who may do anything so long as you don't try to predict what.”

“I wonder: If you think of someone you love, do you become a little more like them? I would like to think so.”

“The scariest thing in the world is thinking someone you love is going to die.”
