Excellence annoys your haters, success infuriates them, and genius kills them.

Do not hold grudges against those who try to keep you down; the higher you go, the smaller they become. Do not trust those who try to push you down once you are up;
the more envious they are, the more dangerous they become.

Be who your enemies dread you'll become.

When the sun rises it casts a shadow on what does not shine as bright as it.

People only stone a tree that is full of ripe fruit.

Don’t try to silence other people’s genius because you’re too deaf to hear your own.
