“High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.”
“Who are the aristocrats now — who are chosen as the best to rule? Those who have money and the brains for money.

But what are the people? Each one of them is a money-interest.”

“It's not luck - there's probably no such thing as luck, and if there is you can't depend on it. All you can do is play the percentages, play your best game, and when the critical bet comes - in every money game there is always a critical bet - you hold your stomach tight and you push hard. That's the clutch. And that's where your born loser loses”

“As the daughter of a train driver and a nurse who grew up constantly strapped for cash, I'm fascinated by- and a little bit suspicious of- people who have made loads of money. To me they're like another species altogether, a breed of sleek and dangerous cats.”

“Savings can be created by spending less.
You can spend less if you desire less.
And you will desire less if you care less about what others think of you.”
