FAVORITE QUOTES

“Bear in mind that brains and learning, like muscle and physical skill, are articles of commerce. They are bought and sold. You can hire them by the year or by the hour. The only thing in the world not for sale is character.” Justice Scalia, Commencement address, College of William and Mary, 1996

"Do you want to sell colored sugar water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to change the world?"

Steve Jobs to John Sculley at Pepsi when he was recruiting him to Apple

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how strong man stumbles or where the doer of good deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Teddy Roosevelt, "Citizenship in the Republic, Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 1910

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
Mark Twain

The problem with Socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

Margaret Thatcher

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

For he today that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition.

And gentlemen in England now abed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day.

William Shakespere, Henry V

My most brilliant achievement was in persuading my wife to marry me.

Winston Churchill

If you chase two rabbits, both will escape

Confucius

There are seven things that will destroy us:

Wealth without work;

Pleasure without conscience;

Knowledge without character;

Religion without sacrifice;

Politics without principle;

Science without humanity;

Business without ethics.

- Mahatma Gandhi
