1990s
“From someone who doesn't want to share your destiny, you should neither accept a cigarette”

1830s, Literary Ethics (1838)
Context: Explore, and explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatise yourself, nor accept another's dogmatism. Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, for the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board. Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread, and if not store of it, yet such as shall not take away your property in all men's possessions, in all men's affections, in art, in nature, and in hope.
“Learn to accept your mistakes. Don't be a perfectionist about everything.”
Power : How To Get It, How To Use It (1976)
“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.”
