Never reveal all of yourself to other people; hold back something in reserve so that people are never quite sure if they really know you. - Michael Korda

The American system demands success, and in order to succeed we must first believe that we can. Yet our society, with its intolerance of failure and poverty, traps millions of people in positions where any kind of success seems impossible to contemplate, and in which failure itself is a kind of passive rebellion against their own misery and the social system which created it in the first place. To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.

Act impeccably! Perform every act as if it were the only thing in the world that mattered.

The more you can dream, the more you can do.
