“Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories.”

“At some point, your memories, your stories, your adventures, will be the only things you'll have left.”

“If you cannot make knowledge your servant, make it your friend.”

“You are responsible for all of your successes, and the lack thereof. And that is the essential point that failure, your ever-faithful friend, wants to make: that your failure could not exist without you—without your stupidity, without your lies, without your mistakes, your uselessness, your lack of faith, your ineptitude, your unjustifiable confidence in your alleged abilities, you stupid loser—failure is your only friend. Failure is your only lover. Failure is your only hope.”

“Your life is your story and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential”

“Learn from the mistakes of others you won't have time to make them all your self”

“He doesn’t have to love your CD collection. He doesn’t have to love your shoes. But any good, mature guy better make an attempt to love your friends and family—especially when they’re great.”

“If I listened to your advice, I'd be making your mistakes instead of my own.”

“You can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't.”

“Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.”
