"Without a purpose, nothing should be done...." - Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“Poverty is the mother of crime.”

“Discard everything except these few truths: we can live only in the present moment, in this brief now; all the rest of our life is dead and buried or shrouded in uncertainty. Short is the life we lead, and small our patch of earth.”

“It is a shameful thing for the soul to faint while the body still perseveres.”

“Your work speaks for you. Your art defines you.”

“I've always considered my work one piece and I consider that my work won't be finished until I am dead and buried and I hope that's a long, long time.”

“Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.”

“They will wait, well disposed, for others to remedy evil, that they may no longer have have it to regret.”

“It is easier to brave and threaten, than to conquer an enemy.”

“Nothing is going to change, unless someone does something soon”
