“Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.”

More on Power
“The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.”
“To be vested with enormous authority is a fine thing; but to have the on-looking world consent to it is finer.”
“Thus the State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion.”
