“But when your sword breaks, you draw your dagger.”
C.S. Lewis

“knowledge will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical plans of action, to the definite end of accumulation of money. Lack of understanding of this fact has been the source of confusion to millions of people who falsely believe that “knowledge is power.” It is nothing of the sort! Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.”
Napoleon Hill

“A man’s alibi is the child of his own imagination. It is human nature to defend one’s own brain-child.”
Napoleon Hill

Just so, our 'decency and common sense' show grey and deathlike beside the geniality of love.”
C.S. Lewis

“When I am judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.”
