Dan Ariely
“MONEY, AS IT turns out, is very often the most expensive way to motivate people. Social norms are not only cheaper, but often more effective as well.”
Dan Ariely, Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions

Rudyard Kipling
“I am by nature a dealer in words, and words are the most powerful drug known to humanity.”
Rudyard Kipling

Friedrich Nietzsche
“When we observe how some people know how to manage their experiences--their insignificant, everyday experiences--so that they become an arable soil that bears fruit three times a year, while others--and how many there are!--are driven through surging waves of destiny, the most multifarious currents of the times and the nations, and yet always remain on top, bobbing like a cork, then we are in the end tempted to divide mankind into a minority (a minimality) of those who know how to make much of little, and a majority of those who know how to make little of much.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.”
Chuck Close, Chuck Close

Mary Engelbreit

Mary Engelbreit
