Robert Greene

• Be as fluid as water, do not give your enemies anything solid to attack.
• Be royal in your own fashion: act like a king to be treated like one.
• Boldness makes even the smallest animal dangerous.
• Creative endeavors are by their nature uncertain.
• If the happiness and prosperity of other people depend on you, you have nothing to fear anymore.
• Keep others in suspense, cultivate an air of unpredictability.
• Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, and have no energy and creativity in.
• Mastery is not a function of genius or talent, it is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.
• Never take your position for granted and never let any favors you receive go to your head.
• Never whine, never complain, never try to justify yourself.
• Power is not what we do but what we do not - hasty and unwise actions that we repeat every day and which ultimately bring us into trouble.
• Routine life is unbearable, and most people only think about how to escape into the world of fantasy and dreams.
• The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.
• The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
• The person who cannot control his words shows that he cannot control himself.
• We must create our own world or we will die from inaction.
• What kills the creative force is not age or lack of talent, but our own spirit, our own attitude.
• When it comes to mastering a skill, time is the magic ingredient.
