When you’re writing and you start to feel really uncomfortable, that’s when you know you’re starting to get it right. I’d imagine that applies to photography. It applies to everything.

Don’t save your best for volume two

If you don’t care about yourself, make it about other people.

If you want great mentors, you have to become a great mentee. If you want to lead, you have to first learn to follow.

It’s amazing how someone’s IQ seems to double as soon as you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.

Demand not that things happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do, and you will go on well.

You are remembered for the rules you break.

“Shee, you guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off.” 

“Exactly!" said Deep Thought. "So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means.” 

“If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.” 

“The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” 

“You live and learn. At any rate, you live.” 

“A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.” 

“Why?' is always the most difficult question to answer. You know where you are when someone asks you 'What's the time?' or 'When was the battle of 1066?' or 'How do these seatbelts work that go tight when you slam the brakes on, Daddy?' The answers are easy and are, respectively, 'Seven-thirty in the evening,' 'Ten-fifteen in the morning,' and 'Don't ask stupid questions.” 

If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t taking enough risks.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. 

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. 

When it’s tough, will you give up or will you be relentless?

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

“It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.”

“If you’re not making mistakes then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”
