“According to me, your life is going to be a gradual process of becoming kinder and more loving. Hurry up. Speed it along. Start right now.”
“Do all the other things, the ambitious things - travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes...but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness.”
“Success is like a mountain that keeps growing ahead of you as you hike it... Err in the direction of kindness.”
