"The rust of business is sometimes polished..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“The surest proof of being endowed with noble qualities is to be free from envy.”

“People's personalities, like buildings, have various facades, some pleasant to view, some not.”

“Constancy in love is a perpetual inconstancy which fixes our hearts successively to all the qualities of the person loved--sometimes admiring one and sometimes another above all the rest--so that this constancy roves as far as it can, and is no better than inconstancy, confined within the compass of one person.”

“If power doesn't mean that you have the opportunity to work with the people that you love , then you haven't really got any.”

“Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work.”

“Anyone who does anything useful will not go unpaid.”

“We think of our land and water and human resources not as static and sterile possessions but as life giving assets to be directed by wise provisions for future days.”

“Our environment is too important to neglect and it's time for the federal government to focus on real solutions and live up to their promises.”

“He who cuts down woods beyond a certain limit exterminates birds.”
