Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
Clare Boothe Luce
So many people grew up with challenges, as I did. There weren't always happy things happening to me or around me. But when you look at the core of goodness within yourself - at the optimism and hope - you realize it comes from the environment you grew up in.
Sonia Sotomayor
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
Dalai Lama
My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break.
William Shakespeare
Shallow men believe in luck or in circumstance. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.
Sue Grafton
Mistakes are the best teachers. One does not learn from success. It is desirable to learn vicariously from other people's failures, but it gets much more firmly seared in when they are your own.
Mohnish Pabrai
