If money is your hope for independence you will never have it

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Records can be destroyed if they do not suit the prejudices of ruling cliques, lost if they become incomprehensible, distorted if a copyist wishes to impose a new meaning upon them, misunderstood if we lack the information to interpret them. The past is like a huge library, mostly fiction.

To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is success.

I invented nothing new, I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom there was centuries of work.

I wouldn't give five cents for all the art in the world.

Money doesn't make us anyway it just unmasks us.
