“A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought — they must be earned.”
Naval Ravikant

Tony Fadell
“The only failure in your twenties is inaction. The rest is trial and error.”
Tony Fadell, Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making

John Ruskin
“Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts, the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art. Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last.”
John Ruskin, Complete Works of John Ruskin

Carl Sagan
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Ignatius of Loyola
“Act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God.”
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
