- Few things make you stupider than the belief that you need to have an opinion on everything.
- If you want to be right, don’t try to be right, try to be less wrong. If you want to be smart, don’t try to be smart, try to be curious and humble.
- No one is paying as much attention to you as you are. People are too concerned with how they appear to others to care much about how you appear to them.
- Every “overnight success” is the result of years of thankless work. Success comes not from great acts of genius but from doing lots of small things consistently.
- Failure is a mark of courage. It means you risked failure.
- Many of the people you disagree with are not stupid, evil, or insane, but have had thoughts and experiences you haven't which led them to different conclusions.
- In the long run, a lazy lifestyle creates more work and stress than a disciplined one.
- You’re not inactive because you lack motivation, you lack motivation because you’re inactive. You don't need to feel inspired to start creating, you need to start creating to feel inspired. Action creates traction. All you need is to start and the rest will inevitably follow.
- A lot of the time your feelings are invalid and you should feel differently.
- You should just be yourself, not because it will make you more likable (it won’t) but because it's only by being yourself that you'll find people who like you for who you are rather than for who you're pretending to be.
