"Bunts lead to more big innings than anything else."

-- Mitch Williams

“It may be from some moral obliquity in myself, or from some strange disease; but for me, and I should think too for every human being in whose breast a human heart is beating, to know that one single creature is in that dreadful place would make a hell of heaven itself.

“Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.”

“Rich people don't have to have a life-and-death relationship with the truth and its questions; they can ignore the truth and still thrive materially.

So persistence becomes an essential element of good, because without persistence, you never get a chance to get lucky.”
“Encouragement is the fuel on which hope runs.”
