I understand that a man can have everything having nothing and nothing having everything.

The sky dreams of stars, the earth dreams of love.

People are divided into two parts: some of them look for and cannot find anything, others find but are not satisfied.

Every human being is a repeated question asked to the spirit of the Universe.

Work is the law of the modern world, which has no place for lazy people.

In beloved Iraq, blood is flowing between brothers, in the shadow of an illegitimate foreign occupation, and abhorrent sectarianism threatens a civil war.

If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.

Activity is not output.

I work very hard to achieve simplicity, which is never natural, never spontaneous. It's always obtained at the price of a great effort.

Freedom of press is limited to those who own one.

Greatness is earned, not given.

Effective fund-raising is based on relationships.

One has to love unconditionally - the trees and the rocks and the sun and the moon and the people.

My definition of financial freedom is simple: it is the ability to live the lifestyle you desire without having to work or rely on anyone else for money.

I have an obsession with just watching people and what they're into.
