Wisdom

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

I have no interest in Shakespeare and all that British nonsense... I just wanted to get famous and all the rest is hogwash.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

My philosophy is it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

Wisdom comes alone through suffering.

Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.

Don't take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Take the stones people throw at you. And use them to build a monument.

If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together.
