“Forget about how much the whole world can weigh us down, sometimes just a little debt can make us dance to the tunes of every opportunist around us. So have a healthy fear toward debt, especially ones with interest, and don't make yourself vulnerable to the vultures living among mankind. My stance is... Give your all in every good work your hands can find, and know when to be sharp and when to be selfless as you spend your coin.”

“I simply cannot afford to be ignorant of the monumental challenges that constantly batter and beset the world around me. But neither can I afford to be ignorant of the cancer of pessimism that constantly rallies the entire weight of its defeatist character in an all-out effort to convince me that the abilities inherent in mankind are far, far too inadequate to challenge the challenges. And it might be that the greatest challenge of all is to challenge this sort of thinking.”
