Marcus Aurelius
“If anyone can refute me—show me I’m making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective—I’ll gladly change. It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Jeffrey Pfeffer
“If you want power to be used for good, more good people need to have power.”
Jeffrey Pfeffer, 7 Rules of Power: Surprising--but True--Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career

“The reward for good work is more work!”
Tom Sachs

John Milton
“Go; for thy stay, not free, absents thee more.”
John Milton, Paradise Lost
