"The language of excitement is at best..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.”

“What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.”

“I never read a novel, they have so little real life and thought in them.”

“The tongue of a fool is the key of his counsel, which, in a wise man, wisdom hath in keeping.”

“To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

“I earned that the strong will always beat the weak, but the smart will beat the strong. Boxing is a tough guy sport. But in the end, the tough guy gets to clean the streets and be a bodyguard. In the ring, the tough guy is going to get hurt; at the end of the day, he's going to talk funny. Only the smartest win. So, I know it's cliché, but power - real power - comes from knowledge, comes from smarts.”

“Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth!”

“Most of us fear reaching the end of our life regretting moments when we didn't speak up, say I love you, or say I'm sorry.”

“It is very hard to enroll people in anything. And there is a very big difference between the words motivate and inspire.”
