The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking

Don't let life discourage your, everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Books without the knowledge of life are useless.

Peoplewho are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successfuland feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself... Somepsychologists call it a conflict between egoorientation,or between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation…

A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

Supicion of one's own motives is especially necessary for the philanthropist and the executive.

Conflictcan be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither sideloses and a new dance is created.

If you are patient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Learning, the destroyer of arrogance, begets arrogance in fools, even as light that illumines the eye, makes owls blind.

Outside noisy, inside empty.

Standingin the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by thetraffic from both sides.

Thereis all the difference in the world between having something to say and havingto say something.
