A lot of my love of literature comes from Oz and Alice.
It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.
Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.
Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.
It takes a person who is wide awake to make his dream come true.
Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better. You certainly would not be able, in a single generation, to create an earthly paradise. Who could expect that? But, if you make life ever so little better, you will have done splendidly, and your lives will have been worthwhile. Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgement will always be in demand under all conditions.
More people should learn to tell their dollars where to go instead of asking them where they went.
We come from a generation that wanted to make electronic music accepted, at a time [when] it was not.
If I win, I attract other good players and by doing that I win more games.
Creative people who can't help but explore other mental territories are at greater risk, just as someone who climbs a mountain is more at risk than someone who just walks along a village lane.
One small action of love can do far, far more for a soul than all the most beautiful words in the world.
