François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

Raushet

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

Bruce Lee (1940-1973)
