If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.
