To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult.

Lose this day loitering, 'twill be the same story Tomorrow, and the rest more dilatory; Thus, indecision brings its own delays And days are lost lamenting over days, Are you in earnest? Seize this very moment; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Courage has genius, power and magic in it; Only engage, and then the mind grows heated. Begin it and the work will be completed.

I AM! 
   YOU ARE! 
        AND LOVE:  IS ALL:  THAT MATTERS!

You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.

Isn't it a shame that future generations can't be here to see all the wonderful things we're doing with their money?

Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity, and beauty as conspicuously as the want of it represents illness, weakness, disgrace, meanness, and ugliness.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
