Be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

Three rules of work:

Out of clutter find simplicity;

from discord find harmony;

in the middle of difficulties lies opportunity.

Principles and respect

I’m not too emotional of a guy. People say I have a good heart, but they’re wrong. I have principles. The heart is a fickle thing. There’s no way I can love everybody. So I’m not even going to try. But I can respect everyone whether I love them or not. And that I try to do.
