“There is nothing more intoxicating than victory, and nothing more dangerous.”
“Those qualities that separate us are often ridiculed by others or criticized by teachers.”
“Understand: A person of power instills a kind of fear by deliberately unsettling those around him to keep the imitative on his side.”
“Understand: people will constantly attack you in life. One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential. They
will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.”
“We must create our own world or we will die from inaction.”
