Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth.
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.
If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom.

I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill.
