Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
