I'm not asking you to do your best. I'm asking you to do your job." -Dagny Taggart

Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.

Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life.

I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle.

Power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind.

I never found beauty in longing for the impossible and never found the possible to be beyond my reach.

You don't have to necessarily go down the drama school route, or have connections in the industry. You can just make it.

The winner is one who knows when to drop out in order to get in touch.

If you want it, become it.

I just feel that when all is said and done, I am not insane.

The greatest asset of man is man. The wealth of any man is dependent upon the wealth of every other man. Abundance for one is impossible in an impoverished world.
