“If you could do with being in business for yourself, be on the fly.”

“Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.”

“My idea of perfect is being too busy laughing at yourself to care what you look like”

“Be in business for yourself and begin your journey to being very rich.”

“Then, you must fall each into your proper place. You'll do your business, and she, if she's worthy of you, will do hers; but it's your business to please yourself, and hers to please you.”

“If you can remain with absolutely nothing to do for even a short period of time - that’s a taste of freedom. Being busy is ok, not being busy is also ok. Not caring whether you’re busy or not busy is really ok.”
