Ayn Rand
I've always told the truth. I think that's been part of the foundation of my career. I don't put myself above people. I don't put myself different than people. And I, for one, know that none of us is immune.

Fortune does favor the bold and you'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.

Gloria Steinem
The player envies only the player, the poet envies only the poet.
William Hazlitt
The world judge of men by their ability in their profession, and we judge of ourselves by the same test: for it is on that on which our success in life depends.
People of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it, they work in it because they excel.

E. M. Forster
When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.
Molly Ringwald
The life-fate of the modern individual depends not only upon the family into which he was born or which he enters by marriage, but increasingly upon the corporation in which he spends the most alert hours of his best years.
C. Wright Mills
Look around the inhabited world; how few know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.
John Dryden
