have no smaller
or greater

mastery
of oneself.”

unfulfilled
vocation drains
the colour
from a man’s
entire
existence.”
~ Honoré De Balzac

4. “Mistakes and
failures are precisely
your means of
education. They
tell you about
your own
inadequacies.”
~ Robert Greene

5. “The intuitive mind
is a sacred gift and
the rational mind
is a faithful servant.
We have created
a society that
honors the
servant and
has forgotten
the gift.”
~ Albert Einstein

6. “I have the nerve to
walk my own way,
however hard, in my
search for reality,
rather than climb
upon the
rattling wagon
of wishful
illusions.”
~ Zora Neale Hurston

7. “The passive
ironic attitude
is not cool
or romantic,
but pathetic
and
destructive.”
~ Robert Greene

what you are
by learning
who
you are.”

is wasted if you
pay attention
and learn the
lessons contained
in every
experience.”

not born to be left
to himself, but
to devote himself
to art and good
masters who
will make
something
of him.”
~ Johann Peter
Eckermann

12. “I trust that I shall act—
as I now think—
that a man who dares
to waste one hour
of time, has not
discovered the
value of life…
there is nothing
as intolerable
as idleness.”
~ Charles Darwin

13. “Mastery is not a
question of genetics

within.”

a teacher
badly
if one
remains only
a pupil.”

focus applied to
a particular
field of
knowledge.”

our own rejected
thoughts; they
come back to us
with a certain
alienated
majesty.”

selfishness to merely
consume what
others create and
to retreat into a
shell of limited
goals and
immediate
pleasures.”
~ Robert Greene

[people’s] conduct is as

can do, is to resolve
to make use of
those whom you
cannot alter.”
~ Arthur
Schopenhauer
