"Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny."
"Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim."

"Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in."
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
"Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing."
"The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
