If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it. Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness. Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world. Learn the past, watch the present, and create the future. The smaller the understanding of the situation, the more pretentious the form of expression. My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants. What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it. Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money. Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind. One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. |
