Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

Hatred, as well as love, renders its votaries credulous.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Love inspires, illumines, designates and leads the way.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.

Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

Money grows on the tree of persistence.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

Anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, now that's the real test.

Why has government been instituted? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason & justice without constraint.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.

I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.

An irresistible passion that would induce me to believe in innate ideas and the truth of prophecy has decided my career. I have always loved liberty with the enthusiasm which actuates the religious man with the passion of a lover and with the conviction of a geometrician.

No house should ever be on any hill or on anything. It should be of the hill, belonging to it, so hill and house could live together each the happier for the other.

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.

If we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of the Union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.

An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

When a person can't find a deep meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.

Have regular hours for work & play; make each day both useful & pleasant and prove you understand the worth of time by employing it well.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
