"Let reason alone decide."

-- Parmenides

“Once a sage asked why scholars always flock to the doors of the rich, whilst the rich are not inclined to call at the doors of scholars. â€˜The scholarsâ€˜ he answered , â€˜are well aware of the use of money, but the rich are ignorant of the nobility of science.â€™”
“If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own power. Your self-sufficiency, your selfishness and your intellectual pride will inhibit His coming to live in your heart because God cannot fill what is already full. It is as simple as that.”
“In most cases, our so-called limitations are nothing more than our own decision to limit ourselves.”
“Life's funny. You have to find a way to keep going, to keep laughing, even after you realize that none of your dreams will come true. When you realize that, there's still so much of a life to get through.”

“In high school, I would drive my teachers batty. They would make a statement, and I would say, 'Why is that?' They didn't want to be questioned.”
“Itâ€™s as hard to explain as a sexual proclivity. Some guys like high-heeled shoes. I like horror.”
“Our attitude toward cash generation and asset management came out of our own thought process. After we acquired a number of businesses we reflected on aspects of business. Our own conclusion was that the key was cash flow.”
“I just try to use my own life to build a human song: something that people can relate to in some way. It's not like the psychiatrist's couch or anything.”
