The sole purpose of being rich is to give away money.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

Young man, make your name worth something.

No man becomes rich unless he enriches others.

Take away my people, but leave my factories and soon grass will grow on the factory floors......Take away my factories, but leave my people and soon we will have a new and better factory.

Wealth is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.

Be king in your dreams. Make your vow that you will reach that position, with untarnished reputation, and make no other vow to distract your attention.

The greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich

The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.

Marriage is a long conversation, someone once said, and maybe so is a rock band's life. A few minutes later, both were done.

Self-publishing a shitty book doesn't make you an author any more than singing in the shower makes you a rockstar or squeezing your pimple makes you a dermatologist.

I have built a city from the books I've read. A good book sings a a timeless music that is heard in the choir lofts, and balconies, and theaters that thrived within that secret city inside me.

I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming.

Well, I always talk about how I used to work at an insane asylum and stuff, which is true, but to be honest, I just make crap up more than anything else.

Being bipolar and an addict and an alcoholic I have to keep myself very busy. I don't sleep. I am lucky if I get three hours of sleep a night, and so I get up, and my head is full of slamming doors.

I feel like there's always somebody out there ready to take your man. If you got a good man, women are like you know their sleeping around.

All that is happening in art is part of a process of exploration and discovery. I hope to live for a few more years so that I can catch glimpses of the oncoming future.

In this ever-changing world, it's more important than ever that our top-notch military continues to receive the resources needed to serve and protect our country.

Do your best and forget the consequences.
