11

Be humble, for the worst thing in the world is of the same stuff as you. Be confident, for the stars are of the same stuff as you.

12

Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.

13

“A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.”

“While the right to talk may be the beginning of freedom, the necessity of listening is what makes the right important.”

38

Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back.

39

With clothes, the new are best. With friends, the old are best.

53

Motorcycles are definitely not for perfectionists
