"A man's mind is like a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild." - James Allen

"If you have two choices, choose the harder. If you're trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you're even considering the other is laziness. You know in the back of your mind what's the right thing to do, and this trick merely forces you to acknowledge it." - Paul Graham

"Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment." - Maxwell Maltz

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." - Plato

"You know you've achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Listen to hypotheses as they plead their cases before you, but remember that you are not a hypothesis, you are the judge. Therefore do not seek to argue for one side or another, for if you knew your destination, you would already be there." - Eliezer Yudkowsky
