mastery of oneself.”

your means of education. They

tell you about your own

inadequacies.”

is a faithful servant. We have created

a society that honors the servant and

has forgotten the gift.”

“I have the nerve to walk my own way,

however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb

upon the rattling wagon

of wishful illusions.”

is not cool or romantic, but pathetic

and destructive.”

remember, someone

somewhere is practicing,

lessons contained in every

experience.”

masters who will make something of him.”

that a man who dares to waste one hour of time, has not discovered the value of life…

there is nothing as intolerable as idleness.”

of luck, but of following

your natural inclinations

and the deep desires that

stirs you from

within.”

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

“One repays a teacher

badly if one

remains only a pupil.”

~ Robert Greene

“Mastery is not a function of genius

or talent, it is a function of

time and intense focus applied to

a particular field of

knowledge.”

~ Ralph Waldo

Emerson

“In every work of genius we recognize

our own rejected thoughts; they

come back to us with a certain

alienated majesty.”

~ Robert Greene

consume what others create and to retreat into a shell of limited

goals and immediate pleasures.”

~ Arthur

Schopenhauer

“To become indignant at [people’s] conduct is as

foolish as to be angry with a stone because it rolls into your path. And with many people

the wisest thing you can do, is to resolve

to make use of those whom you

cannot alter.”

~ Robert Greene

“If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be

jeopardized, then you will never really

create anything.”

~ Robert Greene

“Your work is the single greatest

means at your disposal

for expressing your social

intelligence.”
