"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours" - Henry David Thoreau
"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances" - Bruce Barton
"Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything" - anonymous
Better to enjoy life and others imho than chase that false God called money. Many of the rich I have met are mean and miserable. Hated by others and appreciated by none. But there have been exceptions.
If you have a great talent let it shine forth, If you have great wealth don't sit on it like a miser ! Use it wisely and generously.
"The irony of life is that its a one way journey. You can not go back. You can not make compensations by trying one way and then another. Therefore wisdom will suffice to guide you" - Dao
