The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
You've got a lot of very, very smart people standing by waiting for somebody else to do the work. Not a recipe for long-term solvency in my opinion.
Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
If your partner is angry with you, recognize that his anger is a misdirected plea for love. Your partner's simply upset because he feels something you said or did was a sign of not loving him enough.
Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
