"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."

The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

"Memory can make a thing seem to have been much more than it was."

I don’t let other people define who I am.

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

Challenges are opportunities in disguise; embrace them with courage.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
