When we look and see what's happening, almost invariably the differences are along the lines of willingness to sacrifice and work long hours."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez

Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
“The question of desirable grief and pain or the necessity for it must also be faced. [Are] growth and self-fulfillment possible at all without pain and grief and sorrow and turmoil? If grief and pain are sometimes necessary for growth of the person, then we must learn not to protect people from them automatically as if they were always bad. Not allowing people to go through their pain, and protecting them from it, may turn out to be a kind of overprotection, which in turn implies a certain lack of respect for the integrity and the intrinsic nature and the future development of the individual.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“How good a society does human nature permit? How good a human nature does society permit?”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“How many people ruin themselves by laying out money on trinkets of frivolous utility? What pleases these lovers of toys is not so much the utility, as the aptness of the machines which are fitted to promote it. All their pockets are stuffed with little conveniences. They contrive new pockets, unknown in the clothes of other people, in order to carry a greater number. They walk about loaded with a multitude of baubles, in weight and sometimes in value not inferior to an ordinary Jew's-box, some of which may sometimes be of some little use, but all of which might at all times be very well spared, and of which the whole utility is certainly not worth the fatigue of bearing the burden.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
