“Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose”

“Keep using your brain, work for free, and soon your mind will show you ways of making money far beyond what I could ever pay you.”

“Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent”

“Beware in making your sporters your councellors, and delight not to keepe ordinarily in your companie comedians or balladines.”

“The main purpose of the illusion of me is to keep you at all costs from realizing your own nothingness.”

“Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it. That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping.”

“Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful — be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency.”

“Keep on thinking. Keep your thinking close to the ground, where it belongs. Don’t ever trade your liberty for another man’s offer to do your thinking and make your mistakes for you.”

“Make your life work instead of making life full of work.”

“Don't look over your shoulder and don't use or abuse others to get ahead. Keep your eyes focused on your goals and keep working for what you believe in and what you want to accomplish.”
