Busy hands achieve more than idle tongues.

Stars do not pull each other down to be more visible; they shine brighter.

Be like the sun; never let the opinions of those who hate you dull your shine.

Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.

Excellence annoys your haters, success infuriates them, and genius kills them.

Confuse them with your intelligence, baffle them with your excellence, bewilder them with your brilliance, and perplex them with your transcendence.

Rising amateurs always intimidate falling masters.

To be envied for your giftedness is better than to be accepted for your untalentedness.

The garden of your dreams is watered by the springs of excellence.
