Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
