Fear is the byproduct of invented consequences.

The cost of debt is infinitely more than the interest rate.

Fear is a spotlight on something that hasn’t even happened.

Don’t let your amateur crastination turn pro.

Success that makes you miserable is failure.

Judgment is a mirror that reflects the insecurities of the judge.

It is not ambition that sets a man apart—it is the distance he is prepared to go.

To need a thing is to pretend you are incomplete without it.

Ambition does not require attachment.
