"Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens."
"The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it."
"I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil."
"It took untold generations to get you where you are. A little gratitude might be in order."
"If you don't say what you think then you kill your unborn self. When you have something to say, silence is a lie."
"You might be winning but you're not growing and growing might be the most important form of winning."
"Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world."
"Can you imagine yourself in 10 years if, instead of avoiding the things you know you should do, you actually did them every single day? That's powerful."
"You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take."
"Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today."
"The way that you make people resilient is by voluntarily exposing them to things that they are afraid of and that make them uncomfortable."
"You must determine where you are going in your life because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. Random wandering will not move you forward. It will instead disappoint and frustrate you and make you anxious and unhappy and hard to get along with (and then resentful, and then vengeful, and then worse)."
"You have to treat yourself like you matter because if you don't then you don't take care of yourself and you become vengeful and cruel and you take it out on people around you and you are not a positive force. None of that is good…you suffer more and so does everyone else around you."
