Here's a rule I recommend: Never practice two vices at once.
Tallulah Bankhead
Watch how a man takes praise and there you have the measure of him.
Thomas Burke
Learning how to learn is life's most important skill.
Tony Buzan
Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it - immediately.
Stephen R. Covey
All that matters is love and work.
Sigmund Freud
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now, they are content with burning my books.
Sigmund Freud
Self-deception operates both at the level of the individual mind, and in the collective awareness of the group.
To belong to a group of any sort, the tacit price of membership is to agree not to notice one's own feelings of
uneasiness and misgiving, and certainly not to question anything that challenges the group's way of doing things.
Daniel Goleman
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it
and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
Carl Jung
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
Carl Jung
Tune in, turn on, drop out.
Timothy Leary
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
Oscar Levant
Over the years, I've had suggestions from other teachers to offer what they call balance
in my courses, that I should
give students the other side.
I'm never sure exactly what that means. After assigning students to read Gandhi I should have
them also read Carl von Clausewitz? After Martin Luther King's essay against the Vietnam War, Colin Powell's memoir favoring the
Persian Gulf War? After Justice William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall's views opposing the death penalty, George W. Bush and Saddam
Hussein's favoring it? After a woman's account of her using a nonviolent defense against a rapist, the thwarted rapist's side?
Colman McCarthy
Make a suggestion or assumption and let them tell you you're wrong. People also have a need to feel smarter than you are.
Mark McCormack
It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull.
H. L. Mencken
Far from being the thief of time, procrastination is the king of it.
Ogden Nash
I never cease being dumbfounded by the unbelievable things people believe.
Leo Rosten
Face what you think you believe and you will be surprised.
Mark Rutherford
There is always a multitude of reasons both in favour of doing a thing and against doing it. The art of
debate lies in presenting them; the art of life lies in neglecting ninety-nine hundredths of them.
Mark Rutherford
Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same posture with creeping.
Jonathan Swift
The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body.
Publilius Syrus
Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
Paul Tournier
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
William E. Vaughan
I like to dress egos.
Gianni Versace
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease.
Oscar Wilde
If you want to understand entrepreneurs, you have to study the psychology of the
juvenile delinquent. They don't have the same anxiety triggers that we have.
