Money is the great tool through whose means labor and skill become universally co-operative.

The right of each individual in any relation to secure to himself the full benefits of his intelligence, his capacity, his industry and skill are among the inalienable inheritances of humanity.

Busy work brings after ease; Ease brings sport and sport brings rest; For young and old, of all degrees, The mingled lot is best.

Briefcases, like CEOs, should never look new and unused.

What you eat is not the goal. What you are is the goal.

In parallel with the development of my interests in technical gadgetry I began to acquire a profound love of and respect for the natural world which motivates my scientific thinking to this day.

Keep the warmth of the sun in your heart.
