“Every man who observes, must have seen what bad listeners most people are.”

“In my years, I have seen that people must be their own gods and make their own good fortune. The bad will come or not come anyway.”

“You are one of the rare people who can separate your observation from your preconception. You see what is, where most people see what they expect.”

“You are one of the rare people who can separate your observation from your perception… you see what is, where most people see what they expect.”

“People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.”

“If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.”

“I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.”

“Who and what we surround ourselves with is who and what we become. In the midst of good people, it is easy to be good. in the midst of bad people, it is easy to be bad.”

“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.”

“A man who attempts to debate when he cannot listen must make a wretched display of impotence.”
