We never taste a perfect joy our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.

Pierre Corneille

Leo Aikman

The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.

Albert Camus

I could never drive in a great big car people like me because I'm a man of the people, a hustler.

Terry McAuliffe

Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart -- a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water -- I accept with joy.

Bhagavad Gita

Friedrich August von Hayek

Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.

Pearl S. Buck
