How to Live

Poetry is the song our souls sing.

The great fallacy of human reason is that everything seems reasonable until you reason with it.

If you'll stand for anything, then you stand for nothing.

It doesn't matter what I want, it matters what's right.

The greatest comfort in life is purity.

The most beautiful faces are the most forgettable.

Live every day like it's everybody else's last.

We must persist.

Speak loudly or not at all.

All you ever have to do is the right thing. That's it.

How I wish it was still the present.

God has time for everybody.

Don't think yourself insignificant.

I need help to help the world.

God works Sundays.

I'm happy being good, but it's good being happy.

I have no complaints. I have no aspirations. I am not human.

You weren't meant to work, you were meant to live.

The only thing that upsets me is me.

Not everything you say has to be a joke.

Speak only as much as you listen.

Put the weight of the world on your shoulders, but don't let it hunch your back.

I am me.

Love is the answer.

Just because you're not perfect doesn't mean you're not great.

Every tree has dead branches.

It's hard to break a precedent

Race smarter, not faster.

Poetry in motion.

Ties go to the house.

You can't say everything, but you can't say nothing.

Speak responsibly.

You can only do as good for people as you are yourself.

No one gets better without their own effort.

Reason is a hypocrite.

Peace is elusive.

Balance is elusive.

I'm afraid I'm a coward.

Tell your secrets.

Keep hugging your children until they stop hugging you.

Don't let anyone run your life.

Act as you think.

Don't apologize if you've done nothing wrong.

Wisdom is the ability to make good decisions.

It's not about what's comfortable, it's about what's right.

Proceed with character.

You can be strong and transparent, like bulletproof glass.

Retreat, even when wise, is painful.

Ask from others what you would give to them.

Everyone of us is worthy of attention, understanding, and forgiveness.

Love yourself like you love any of your other closest friends

You deserve the credit for your achievements.

Chase the best scenario, don't flee the worst scenario.

Why should I let anything get in my way?

You should be more afraid of what will happen when you don't face your fears than what will happen if you do.

Prepare for the worst.

Don't leave important things unsaid.

Cruel under pressure.

Your fears don't shrink; you grow

How do you get to be brave enough to die?

The things we find meaningful are always based, somewhere, in other people.

Be your own friend.

Oppressed from within.

Focus on what you are doing, not what you did or will do.

Keep your promises. No exceptions.

Obey your parents.

Don't fear the impossible.

Life's a heartbreak and a half.

I don't need superpowers to be a superhero.

Help even those who harm.

We will prevail.

The more you take care of yourself, the more you can help others.

Just because it's not perfect doesn't mean it's broken.

Don't ask questions you know the answers to.

Forgiveness is the first step towards redemption. Because who would want to fix a man who deserves to be broken?

Sometimes it's harder to admit you did something right than it is to admit you did something wrong.

The meaning of life is to earn happiness for yourself and others.

When you have a good idea, remember it.

Don't think ahead, work ahead.

If you can't have a conversation with your father, how will you have a conversation with your son?

If you can't find happiness in everyday things, how will you find happiness every day?

Just because you have bad feelings doesn't mean you're a bad person.

Don't make rules for the sake of rules or changes for the sake of changes.

There's no use wanting what you can't have.

This is math. The only rules are the ones we make up.

Starting is the most important step to finishing.

The man who is full of himself is usually not full of much else.

The man who stares at the boulder often trips on the stone.

Keep only the tools you use, the toys you play with, and the art you enjoy.

Don't take another bite while you're still chewing.

A man who believes in God but not himself is truly a fool.

If it doesn't work, don't do it.

Why is it always too late?

Approach your skepticism skeptically.

The easiest narratives to write are false ones.

Think about what you can control.

You are the only thing holding you back.
