“A lot of people are afraid to accept mediocrity because they believe that if they accept it, they’ll never achieve anything, never improve, and that their life won’t matter.
This sort of thinking is dangerous.

Nothing can stop this growth except suppressions of freedom.”

“The third of the twelve truths in this book is that you must accept that fear is good.”

“To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.”
