Tony Hsieh
“Money alone isn't enough to bring happiness . . . happiness [is] when you're actually truly ok with losing everything you have.”
Tony Hsieh, Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose

Seneca
“Only a mind that is deeply stirred can utter something noble and beyond the power of others.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

Orison Swett Marden
“When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.”
Orison Swett Marden

Robert Greene
“You like to imagine yourself in control of your fate, consciously planning the course of your life as best you can. But you are largely unaware of how deeply your emotions dominate you. They make you veer toward ideas that soothe your ego. They make you look for evidence that confirms what you already want to believe. They make you see what you want to see, depending on your mood, and this disconnect from reality is the source of the bad decisions and negative patterns that haunt your life. Rationality is the ability to counteract these emotional effects, to think instead of react, to open your mind to what is really happening, as opposed to what you are feeling. It does not come naturally; it is a power we must cultivate, but in doing so we realize our greatest potential.”
Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature

Alain de Botton
“A notorious inability to express emotions makes human beings the only animals capable of suicide.”
Alain de Botton
