William Shakespeare

I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar's worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar.

Guy Fieri

Voltaire

All paid employments... absorb and degrade the mind.

Aristotle

You brain shall be your servant instead of your master, You will rule it instead of allowing it to rule you.

Charles E. Popplestone

Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.
