advice

A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savour of it.

Until our education system is repositioned to take care of the tripartite nature of a human being - head, heart and hand, we cannot make healthy progress as a nation or individuals.

In matters of religion and matrimony I never give advice, because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.

And kid, you__e got to love yourself. You__e got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You__e got to sit next to the man at the train station who__ reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You__e got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you__e got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You__e got to stop taking everything so goddam personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You__e got to compliment someones crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You__e got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won__ matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. You__e got to stop worrying about what you__e going to tell her when she finds out. You__e got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You__e got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. Fuck it. Love yourself, kiddo. You__e got to love yourself.

No. I don't. You don't always have to be who they want you to be, you know.

Live as long as you want, but you must die; love whatever you want, but you will become separated from it; and do what you want, but you will be repaid for it!

My best advice is to first write for yourself and stay in your story and just pour all of your good stuff and bad stuff into it. By 'stuff,' I mean all the experiences and pleasures and little hurts that make up a life. Because even (and especially) the really hard experiences are worth having, if you can channel those emotions into something beautiful.

You should never start something when you haven't finished the last thing. People feel used that way.

I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar. It can crumble so easily but don__ be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.

After all, there is no advice which I can give you which you will not find plainly set down in the Book your mother taught you to reverence and love; and I therefore commend you to God, and to the word of His grace.

Love should not have limits but you have to know that our actions have consequences.

Freedom is a free decision.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who's only texting you back three words. I've learned that from trying to figure out people who don't deserve to be figured out.

There is one thing you need to do to people who hate you for the way you are and what you do. What's that? The thing you do best. And that would be? Give them hell.

Don´t let egos get in the way to ruin your day. If someone holds their inflated ego, blow it away!

You don__ have to know where you__e going. In fact, it__ better if you don__.

Dare to love greatly.

A project is like love; it has clear intentions at the beginning, but it can get complicated.
