“We humans seem to suffer from a fundamental flaw when it comes to making a connection between money and happiness. The problem doesn’t arise so much with the things we buy, but with our expectations for the extent to which material goods can really improve our quality of life.”
- MP Dunleavey, Money CAN Buy Happiness
“Postponing your hopes and dreams – and happiness – because you’re waiting for more money not only sets you up for disappointment, it prevents you from seizing the joy that can be yours with the money you have right now.”
- MP Dunleavey, Money CAN Buy Happiness, p.46
“Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.”
- James Allen, As A Man Thinketh
“The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul – books.”
- Emily Dickinson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
–Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love
“In order to create, you’ve got to have energy; you’ve got to have clarity. You’ve got to be able to catch ideas.”

Why We Want You To Be Rich
“Vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.”
- Donald Trump
p. 215, Why We Want You To Be Rich
“Being a good company is like being a good lover: First you ask your partner what they want, then you give it to them. Then you ask them if they liked it. If they say yes, you give it to them again! What’s what customer service is all about: being good to people. If someone enjoys the experience, it makes them look good to tell somebody else. If you focus on one, it leads to the other.”
 - Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks
