The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.
— Anthony J. D'Angelo
The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.
You can learn a lot from people who view the world differently than you do.
Reality doesn't bite, rather our perception of reality bites.
Build your reputation by helping other people build theirs.
Promise a lot and give even more.
If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.
The most important things in life aren't things.
In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information.
Have a strong mind and a soft heart.
Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.
Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
When you're young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You'll live longer.
You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others.
Always be nice to secretaries. They are the real gatekeepers in the world.
Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.
The only real failure in life is one not learned from.
Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.
Don't reinvent the wheel, just realign it.
Learn not only to find what you like, learn to like what you find.
Become addicted to constant and never-ending self-improvement.
Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months.
Don't fear change - embrace it.
If life doesn't offer a game worth playing, then invent a new one.
If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.
The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset.
Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.
Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance.
Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know.
Know people for who they are rather than for what they are.
Become a fixer, not just a fixture.
Run to meet the future or it's going to run you down.
If you have a vision, do something with it.
In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
Focus 90% of your time on solutions and only 10% of your time on problems.
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.
Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant.
You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.
