Eleanor Roosevelt
“It was the flexibility, the originality, and the independence of thought—combined, of course, with our vast resources—that made American business grow so rapidly. If the seeds of growth are made sterile, if men become passive followers instead of developing qualities of leadership—and courage—we may find someday that our way of life has been superseded.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

William Deresiewicz
“I have heard from many high-achieving students who have asked me whether it wasn’t possible to be invested both in learning for its own sake and in being at the top. No, I’ve said, it isn’t possible. Learning for its own sake means exactly what it says: learning is the only reason that you’re doing it, because learning is what matters.”
William Deresiewicz, Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life

David  Brooks
“Many observers have noticed that love eliminates the distinction between giving and receiving. Since the selves of the two lovers are intermingled, scrambled, and fused, it feels more delicious to give to the beloved than to receive.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

Eleanor Roosevelt
“being acquisitive on a large scale, cannot have value if it is bought at the expense of others.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

Eleanor Roosevelt
“If asked, you should state how you feel, how you think. But until asked, it is an intrusion to thrust your ideas on any grown human being.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
