Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes

Great talkers, little doers.

Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.

No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state.

Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions, and spend one penny less than thy clear gains; then shall thy pocket begin to thrive; creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hungerness bite, nor nakedness freeze thee

Hope of gain lessens pain.

The learned fool writes his nonsense in better language than the unlearned, but it is still nonsense.
