Weird people follow you in the streets you can't sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.

You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people their history their culture and their values.

Your most precious valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You and you alone can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving.

There are no college courses to build up self-esteem or high school or elementary school. If you don't get those values at a early age nurtured in your home you don't get them.

Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.

Credit or debit cards for starters are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it. Handing some of that to a cashier simply hurts more than handing over a little sliver of plastic.

From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting.

The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others who are late to develop it just enables them to finish the job.

A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him 'At my age I don't even buy green bananas.'
