Thus, to give money away is quite a simple task, but for the act to be virtuous, the donor must give to the right person, for the right purpose, in the right amount, in the right manner, and at the right time.-- Aristotle

I'd like to be remembered as someone who tried to do the decent thing. Mainly that comes down to how you treat people. If you take out your frustration on people, that's not doing the decent thing. If you treat some differently because they're worth more money - that's not doing the decent thing.-- Martin Short, comedian

You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it. That's the only way to get to the top.-- Emil Zatopek (1922-) Czech Middle Distance Runner
