“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”
“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love
us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded
by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter,
while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to
stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put
an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”
“It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.”
“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and
blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails.
You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at
night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only
love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or
know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only
one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags
it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never
alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream
of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of
things there are to learn.”
“I am not a teacher, but an awakener.”
“Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab
wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our
lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have
also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness,
and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart.
But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are
spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings
growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will
give us that wind against our faces.”
“We learn from failure, not from success!”
“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.”
“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through
your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you.
And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful
thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done. But what's
yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And
one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and
that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again.”
“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the
world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd
be surprised how far that gets you.”
“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I
have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going
to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is
always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high
time that I accept all the great things about me.”
“Study the past if you would define the future.”
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
“I'm unpredictable, I never know where I'm going until I get there, I'm
so random, I'm always growing, learning, changing, I'm never the same
person twice. But one thing you can be sure of about me; is I will
always do exactly what I want to do.”
“You're going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the
loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your
territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of
a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness
and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is
happy and at peace they mistake for weakness. It's not your job to
change these people, but it's your job to show them that your peace and
gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be
fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not
delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also
possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be
weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot.
There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the
description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends
that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and
important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage.
It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost
many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they
can't. They accuse me of being deceiving; I am not deceiving, I am just
made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and
fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I
want you to be made of silk. You are silk.”
“A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley
taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy,
about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to
appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a
nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he
taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me
about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering
loyalty.”
“The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself.
Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too!
When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed
at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight
you are with yourself.What kind of person do you want to walk down the
street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning
with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day
before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it's your
responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to
spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who's not
full of hate, who's able to smile and be carefree. So that's who I have
to be.”
“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”
“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”
