"There's sometimes a tugging feeling you get to push further when you aren't being challenged enough or when things get too comfortable."

"Old words are reborn with new faces."

"Drunken men give some of the best pep talks."

"Whenever I think of something but can't think of what it was I was thinking of, I can't stop thinking until I think I'm thinking of it again. I think I think too much."

"In a general sense, I admit to valuing the worldviews of men under the age of 40 and women over the age of 30."

"For wordsmiths and masters of words, without necessarily being harsh with words, the words have a tendency to shoot straight to the hearts of people, and this either deeply touches them or deeply angers them. Like the apostles in all their loving controversies are those who are masters of words while combining this gift with truth."

"I believe in evolution in the sense that a short-tempered man is the successor of a crybaby."

"I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace."

"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning."

"Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane."

"Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child's relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don't know as much as we think we know."

"Peaceful disputes are maintained when men sincerely believe that they are morally, logically correct about the issues at hand. It is when neither side is really certain that wars are instigated."

"If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk - it holds the tree together, but it often goes unnoticed."

"I don't pretend to know everything; I just only speak on matters I know I'll win."

"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning."

"Easily mistaken, it is not about a love for adversity, it is about knowing a strength and a faith so great that adversity, in all its adverse manifestations, hardly even exists."

"Religion, like science, is only noteworthy when it emphasizes a matter of what is true rather than whose belief is greater or lesser or which deity works for whom. Sincere religion and tested science are similar in that their assertions can be argued logically and objectively; otherwise, we get false cults and babble."

"Wisdom is nothing more than confirmed imagination: just because one did not study for his exam does not mean that he should leave it blank."

"Tell me that the purpose of life is to have fun, and without a care in the world I'll begin wreaking havoc on everything I pass. Now that's what I call pure, honest fun."

"A lonely day is God's way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you."
