#Value

"We are so overwhelmed with quantities of books, that we hardly realize any more that a book can be valuable, valuable like a jewel, or a lovely picture, into which you can look deeper and deeper and get a more profound experience very time. It is far, far better to read one book six times, at intervals, than to read six several books."

"People will walk in and walk out of your life, but the one whose footstep made a long lasting impression is the one you should never allow to walk out."

You were formed in the bedroom of the gods, you were conceived in the garden of the eternal!"

"If you really want to be happy, don't just go for the money. Go for the relationship that lasts. Go for things of greater value."

"Lightning doesn’t thunder twice. Let that be a lesson in love."

"Money is not equal for all people. A strong personal brand adds more lift and leverage. One dollar from me may buy a soda from a car dealership, but one dollar from Justin Bieber may get him a Ferrari. And they'd pay him to drive away."
