MASTERY
by

ROBERT
GREENE

One can
have no smaller
or greater
mastery than
mastery
of oneself.
~ Leonardo Da Vinci

An
unfulfilled
vocation drains
the colour
from a mans
entire
existence.
~ Honor De Balzac

Mistakes and
failures are precisely
your means of
education. They
tell you about
your own
inadequacies.
~ Robert Greene

The intuitive mind

is a sacred gift and
the rational mind
is a faithful servant.
We have created
a society that
honors the
servant and
has forgotten
the gift.
~ Albert Einstein

I have the nerve to

walk my own way,
however hard, in my
search for reality,
rather than climb
upon the
rattling wagon
of wishful
illusions.
~ Zora Neale Hurston

The passive
ironic attitude
is not cool
or romantic,
but pathetic
and
destructive.
~ Robert Greene

Become
what you are
by learning
who
you are.
~ Pindar

When you are

not practicing,
remember,
someone
somewhere is
practicing,
and when you
meet him
he will win.
~ Bill Bradley

No moment
is wasted if you
pay attention
and learn the
lessons contained
in every
experience.
~ Robert Greene

A man of talent is
not born to be left
to himself, but
to devote himself
to art and good
masters who
will make
something
of him.
~ Johann Peter
Eckermann

I trust that I shall act

as I now think
that a man who dares
to waste one hour
of time, has not
discovered the
value of life
there is nothing
as intolerable
as idleness.
~ Charles Darwin

Mastery is not a
question of genetics
of luck, but of
following
your natural
inclinations
and the deep
desires that
stirs you
from
within.
~ Robert Greene

One repays
a teacher
badly
if one
remains only
a pupil.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

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.
~ Robert Greene

In every work of
genius we recognize
our own rejected
thoughts; they
come back to us
with a certain
alienated
majesty.
~ Ralph Waldo
Emerson

It is the height of
selfishness to merely
consume what
others create and
to retreat into a
shell of limited
goals and
immediate
pleasures.
~ Robert Greene

To become indignant at
[peoples] conduct is as
foolish as to be angry with
a stone because it rolls
into your path. And
with many people
the wisest thing you
can do, is to resolve
to make use of
those whom you
cannot alter.
~ Arthur
Schopenhauer

If you are worried

about what others
might think and
about how your
position in the
group might be
jeopardized,
then you will
never really
create
anything.
~ Robert Greene

Curiosity
is its
own
reason.

the single greatest
means at your
disposal
for expressing
your social
intelligence.
