  • "Every second of life spent in anger or dissatisfaction from peer comparison is a precious second lost and wasted, an utterly distorted form of self-motivation.''

  • "One should always try to put himself in others' position in order to be considerate, although it may not even be sufficient to do so due to differences in personality."
