Wisdom

The world you see outside of you is a reflection of what you have inside of you.

Everything worthwhile is hard. Some sacrifices aren't worthwhile.

When you try to please everybody, you're going to lose your ass.

Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.

When there are better players around you, you get better.

Find allies rather than adorers. Adorers will point out everything you do well. Allies will also be honest with you when they feel you are making mistakes or not living up to your potential.

If wise men decline it, others will not; if honest men refuse it, others will not.

Working for the earth is not a way to get rich, it is a way to be rich.

The humanities and the arts only do what is much more precious than making money: they make a world that is worth living in.

Do not confuse your net worth with your self-worth.

In the end, life is about the big and small things. The 'A' on the exam and the car-ride conversations, the game-winning touchdown and the 'Hi' in the hallway. What we view as the smaller things are the more important things.

When you work for other people, they do know what's best for them and for the company. And you should listen to them and be respectful. But they don't know what's best for you. Only you know that.
