Yvon Chouinard
“It's okay to be eccentric if you're rich; otherwise you're just crazy.”
Yvon Chouinard, Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman

Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Peter F. Drucker
“Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves - their strengths, their values, and how they best perform.”
Peter F. Drucker, Managing Oneself

Carl Sagan
“The visions we offer our children shape the future. It _matters_ what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps.”
Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Henry David Thoreau
“We have become the tool of our tools.”
Henry David Thoreau
