Men do change and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

But once you have satisfied your material needs which I think every wealth creator should - the house the car the plane the boat - what comes next?

You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking what you are going to do before you get there because it comes too fast.
