In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity

Common sense is not so common

Good judgment is rarer than we assume

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Authenticity is the only viable option

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing

Cynicism mistakes cost for worth

I can resist everything except temptation

Self-aware confession of human weakness

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated

Premature announcements of one's demise are wrong

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education

Formal education is not the only—or best—form of learning
