"Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity." - Karl Marx
"Start it; you don't have to be fancy. Keep moving; you don't have to go crazy. Visualize; you don't have to admit it. See the end result; it doesn't have to be material. Expect miracles; they don't have to be huge. Pretend you've arrived; you don't have to dance on tables. And above all else, have fun (This is why you started it, right?)." - The Universe
"To straighten the crooked, you must first do a harder thing — straighten yourself." - The Buddha
"If you fell down yesterday, stand up today." - H.G. Wells
"We have to allow ourselves to realize that we are complete fools; otherwise, we have nowhere to begin. We have to be willing to be a fool and not always try to be a wise guy. We could almost say that being willing to be a fool is one of the first wisdoms." - Chogyam Trungpa
