There is no genius without a touch of madness.

Seneca

Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.

President George Washington

Short-term thinking makes people desperate, ungenerous, impulsive. Long-term thinking makes people calm, gracious, controlled. The mighty pyramids and cathedrals were built by civilizations with a long time horizon, so it is with the life of a great man.

The Stoic Emperor

Perspective is to painting what the bridle is to the horse, the rudder to a ship.

Leonardo da Vinci

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Antoine de SaintExupéry

It is good to have a goal, but bad to let your goal have you. Focus is good, but focus that is too narrow becomes blindness.

The Stoic Emperor
