Wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state.

The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway-even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that's not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you.

I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know.

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.

A man can no more make a safe use of wealth without reason than he can of a horse without a bridle.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.
