I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.

I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.
