- There
are instances of millionaires'
sons
unspoiled by wealth,
who, being rich, still perform great
services in the community. Such are the
very salt of the earth, as valuable
as, unfortunately, they are rare; still
it is not the exception, but the rule, that
men
must regard, and, looking at the usual result
of enormous sums conferred upon legatees,
the thoughtful man must shortly say, "I
would as soon leave to my son a curse as
the almighty dollar,"
and admit to himself that it is not the
welfare of the children, but family pride,
which inspires these enormous legacies.
Andrew
Carnegie Quotes
- Russia
on its path has oftentimes discussed and
overdiscussed what had happened earlier,
instead of moving forward. The result
is always the same: It is very difficult
to move forward when you're looking backward.
Mikhail
Khodorkovsky Quotes
- I´ve
started
to notice in the last few months that the
roles
available to women
in their thirties
suddenly seem a lot better than the ones
for women in their mid- to late-twenties.
Which makes sense. Women have got more to
say at this point in their lives.
They´ve had a decade of getting to
know themselves,
of making mistakes,
reflecting back to failed
relationships,
having children,
all those things, and as a result,
the characters, the roles, become much more
interesting,
more dynamic.
Naomi
Watts Quotes
- I
don't give a damn if we get a little bureaucracy
as long as we get the results.
If it bothers you, yell at it. Kick it.
Scream at it. Break it!
