The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.
Will Rogers

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Nelson Mandela

Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Henry David Thoreau

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.
Henry David Thoreau

Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.
Lao Tzu

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours.
Lao Tzu

In order to govern, the question is not to follow out a more or less valid theory but to build with whatever materials are at hand. The inevitable must be accepted and turned to advantage.
Napoleon Bonaparte

The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely.
Napoleon Bonaparte

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.
Oscar Wilde

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
Oscar Wilde

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway

If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Abraham Maslow

If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
Abraham Maslow

The more you know the less you need to say.
Jim Rohn

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Deepak Chopra

History is more or less bunk.
Henry Ford

You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
Leonardo da Vinci
