The business schools reward difficult complex behaviour more than simple behaviour, but simple behaviour is more effective.

Wealth is the product of man's ability to think.

Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it, and spend it rather than invest it.
