Peyton Conway March
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else.

Mahatma Gandhi
The measure of success is not in the result but the effort.

Iman Ali
Everyone who is faced with mortality asks for more time.
While everyone who still has time make excuses for procrastination.

Douglas MacArthur
There is no security in this life,
only opportunity.

Andrew Carnegie
I began to learn what poverty meant.
It was burnt into my heart then that my father had to beg for work.
And then and there came the resolve that I would cure that when I got to be a man.

Andrew Carnegie
Concentrate your energies,
your thoughts and your capital.
The wise man puts all his eggs
in one basket and watches the basket.

Andrew Carnegie
