“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It is not true!

“While wisdom dictates the need for education, education does not necessarily make one wise. I remember a man when I was growing up who was extremely well educated and had two master’s degrees. He could wax eloquently on many subjects but had a very difficult time sustaining himself economically. In fact, he would frequently mooch off of anyone who would take pity on him. On the other hand, many of the greatest achievers in our society never finished college. That includes Bill Gates Jr., Steve Jobs, and Dan Snyder, who is the owner of the Washington Redskins. This does not mean that higher education isn’t highly desirable and beneficial, but it does indicate that the wise use of knowledge is more important than knowledge itself.”
Ben Carson

“Whatever we may say about the soul going to the sky... we know there is no sky but only an atmosphere.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive.” The turning point in the lives of those who succeed, usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other selves.”
Napoleon Hill

“We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.” 
Thomas A. Edison

“One must always keep the tools of statecraft sharp and ready. Power and fear – sharp and ready.”
Frank Herbert

“You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.”
Abraham Lincoln
