Get up and do it if it needs to be done, even if you hate it!

I think I'm a fairly average person, I think I have only a medium IQ. I didn't go to college, obviously.

Do what's in front of you as well as possible. Keep going until you realize what you're best at.

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing everyone a disservice by perpetuating the idea that beautiful is better than plain, because having done everything just about that you can do, sparing no expense, and not effort, to become better looking, I know that only so much can be done.

Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can.

You know you can't hope yourself a better life - you must take yourself there.
