"Experience, as we know, has a way..." - Quote by William James

“The good or bad is not in the circumstance, but only in the mind...that encounters it.”

“All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits.”

“Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.”

“Learn from the negative as well as the positive, from the failures as well as the successes.”

“My best fishing-memory is about some fish that I never caught.”

“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”

“Once you open your eyes and start looking around you, you start picking up things that are very obvious.”

“Everything in life and business, you only earn more if you become more valuable. Because if you can do more for people than anybody else does, you can prosper. But you can't do that unless you're constantly educating yourself with the cutting edge. My whole life, even when I had no money, I would invest in education.”

“The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.”
