“To be polite costs one nothing. To be impolite has the potential to cost one everything,”
“The function of assholes in the world, just like the asshole we all have, is to spread shit around.”

“Let’s pause a moment to think about how much $1 trillion really is. Such large-scale economic matters are often discussed in terms of trillions, but how many people really understand how much a trillion is?
Let’s say you've been told you have to wait for something very special for one million seconds. How long would your wait be? A little more than eleven and a half days. But what if you had to wait for one billion seconds? Well, you’d be waiting a little longer: try almost thirty-two years.
And for one trillion seconds? We’ll round it off to 31,700 years.”
― FairTax: The Truth: Answering the Critics

“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”

“Some say that love is the sweetest feeling, the purest form of joy, but that isn't right. It's not love--it's relief.”
