- people often ask me...what is the most effective technique for transforming their lives? it's a little embarrassing that after years and years of research, my best answer is just be a little kinder.
- at least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.
- experience teaches only the teachable.
- there's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
- after silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
- experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
