However close we may be to someone because they’ve been nice to us, it is nothing next to the closeness we’ll achieve if we allow them to show us, without shaming or humiliating, what really isn’t quite so nice about them

Most people have no idea what they’re capable of. No real sense of their talents or their abilities. And very many people therefor conclude that they don’t have any, there’s nothing special about them

I think that generally people have things that are more within their personal purview that are more difficult to deal with and that they’re avoiding. And that generally the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues so that they look good to their friends and their neighbours

Champions are not the ones who always win races, champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. Champion is a state of mind

Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one that rises against them and strikes back

What Starbucks enables you is to be a consumerist without any bad conscience, because the price for the counter measure, for fighting consumerism, is already included in the price of a commodity. The ultimate form of consumerism

Een hond een been toewerpen is geen liefdadigheid. Liefdadigheid is, het been te delen met de hond, als men evenveel honger heeft als het dier.
