Analysis is not justification.

Never ask questions you don't want the answer to.

First do it, then do it right, then do it better.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

I do not choose to be a common man,

It is my right to be uncommon…if I can,

I seek opportunity…not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen,

Humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk;

To dream and to build,

To fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;

I prefer the challenges of life

To the guaranteed existence;

The thrill of fulfillment

To the state of calm Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence

Nor my dignity for a handout.

I will never cower before any master

Nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect,

Proud and unafraid;

To think and act for myself,

To enjoy the benefit of my creations

And to face the world boldly and say:

This, with God’s help, I have done.

All this is what it meant

To be an Entrepreneur.

The mossy marbles rest

On the lips that he has prest

In their bloom,

And the names he loved to hear

Have been carved for many a year

On the tomb.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

One day you’ll leave this world behind. So live a life you will remember.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
