Bruce Lee Quote

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”
By Jared

Interesting Book

one of the best classes I have ever had is New Ventures. One of Les Smith's classes. It was great because I have always wanted to become a entrepreneur and one day I intend on becoming one. This class had such an influence on me and many more I'm sure. The whole system of taking something as an Idea and making it come true. Making a Business Plan and seeing what you have to do to start and then lead.I was looking at the Chapters website and I found out about this book called The "Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts And The Challenges To American Power"

Warren Buffett

I don't have a problem with guilt about money. The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society. It's like I have these little pieces of paper that I can turn into consumption. If I wanted to, I could hire 10,000 people to do nothing but paint my picture every day for the rest of my life. And the GNP would go up. But the utility of the product would be zilch, and I would be keeping those 10,000 people from doing AIDS research, or teaching, or nursing. I don't do that though. I don't use very many of those claim checks. There's nothing material I want very much. And I'm going to give virtually all of those claim checks to charity when my wife and I die.

Edward Banfield

"Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society."
