Wisdom

Trust the art, not the artist.

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

Don't criticize what you can't understand.

In all affairs, it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You may delay, but time will not.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Well done is better than well said.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

I don’t do too many collaborations; I’m really picky about the ones I do.

I take good advice and I always look for someone to emulate; it makes sense to get an opinion to get an idea of what you want. People always have their own visions of whatever they do, so you have to make sure that yours is in line with the world.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
