Robert J. Shiller "Finance is not merely about making money. It's about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It's about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society." Luis Barragan "A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy." Sidney Sheldon "Don't give up. There are too many nay-sayers out there who will try to discourage you. Don't listen to them. The only one who can make you give up is yourself." |
