I have oftenregretted my speech, never my silence.

Bytrying often, the monkey learns to jump from the tree.

Be notdisturbed at being misunderstood; be disturbed at not understanding.

Silence is argument carried out by other means.

Bestill when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say whatyou've got to say, and say it hot.

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannothurt you.

When youcannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action youshould take choose the bolder.

It is easier to be brave from a safe distance.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.

Reason is my philosophy, is only a harmony among irrational impulses.

Peoplespend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idledreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill theemptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed tosearch was within.

Distancedoesn't matter. It is only the first step that is difficult.
