"Live your epitaph"

"There are no foolish questions and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions."

"Never miss a good chance to shut up."

"A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends."

"Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting."

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing."

"The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem--not others."

"Do not allow your thoughts to condemn you."

"This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be along process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time."

"Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open."
