I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.

When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident like. I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it.

Trade is much superior to piracy. You can rob and kill a man but once, but you can cheat him again and again.

The vision of the gods without the power of the gods. What a terrible gift. A glorious gift.

Orson Scott Card
