Some thoughts

Be the change you want to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.
You cannot claim a right that you are not prepared to grant to others.
Just because no one understands you doesn't mean you're creative.
Never wrestle with a pig in mud. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.
"I may have been on the losing side - still not convinced it was the wrong one" Malcolm Reynolds
