If you don’t feel safe as a child, you can’t learn.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

My body is weird. I wake up when the sun comes up, and it’s hard for me to go to sleep. My thoughts just take over.

Much learning does not teach understanding.

Some days I totally appreciate everything that’s happening to me, and some days I feel everyone’s waiting for me to mess up.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.

I’m the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.

One of the things I did when I discovered this huge importance of being vulnerable is very happily moved away from the shame research, because that’s such a downer, and people hate that topic. It’s not that vulnerability is the upside, but it’s better than shame, I guess.

I don’t worry about stress. I create it.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

I actually don’t read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

We do not know where to look, or what to look for, when something is memorized. We do not know what it means, or what change there is in the nervous system, when a fact is learned. This is a very important problem which has not been solved at all.

I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.

I don’t have many sad days.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication. And I knew I could sing from being in tune with the radio.

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.

Find what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

‚Fame‘ exhausts me.

Lightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.

It’s going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I’ll risk saying that we’ll be lucky if something really serious doesn’t happen.

Poverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.

The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.

I’m not a complete psychopath. Am I partially? Sure. I’ll accept that. But I’m not a complete psychopath.

Working with a guy like Ice Cube on ‚Ride Along,‘ you learn so much. He’s a guy who produces, writes, and directs, so you watch and learn and ask questions. As you go, you learn and figure out what you should and shouldn’t do. I do nothing but soak up information.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these ‚how‘ and ‚why‘ questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Sleep is the best meditation.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.

When I was 11 I became very depressed. It had a lot to do with the climate and ecological crisis. I thought everything was just so wrong and nothing was happening and there’s no point in anything.

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That’s one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.

Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.

I’m addicted to placebos.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

The answer I found is you stay away from the people who make fun of you, and you join these ad hoc groups who understand your craziness.

With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.

If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

We don’t laugh because we’re happy – we’re happy because we laugh.

Older people sit down and ask, ‚What is it?‘ but the boy asks, ‚What can I do with it?‘.

I think I hate cynicism more than anything else. It’s the curse of our age, and I want to avoid it at all costs.
