"The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.”

“Idiots and lunatics see only their own wit.”

“Nothing is so capable of diminishing self-love as the observation that we disapprove at one time what we approve at another.”

“Begin with the determination to succeed and the work is half done already.”

“It's a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be amazed at how much progress you'll be able to make. What have you got to lose except the guilt and fear of the past?”

“If you want to build a ship, teach the men to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

“The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.”

“Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? "No," I said, "I can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore I'm a genius." Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius - I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.”

“My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.”
