“Perhaps you say, Why are the wicked joyous? Why do they live in luxury? Why do they not toil with me? It is because they who have not put down their names to strive for the crown are not bound to undergo the labors of the contest. They who have not gone down into the race-course do not annoint themselves with oil nor get covered with dust. For those whom glory awaits trouble is at hand. The perfumed spectators are wont to look on, not to join in the struggle, nor to endure the sun, the heat, the dust, and the showers.” LooksHandsReligionCoursesNamesRaceStruggleSunGoneTroubleGloryLaborStriveEndureBoundsOilDustLuxuryHeatWickedCoveredCrownsShowersToilContestsSpectatorsJoyous Author:Bill Vaughan
“A professional entertainer who allows himself to become known as a singer of folk songs is bound to have trouble with his conscience provided, of course, that he possesses one.

“A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful.

“I am out of step with present conditions. When the game is no longer played your way, it is only human to say the new approach is all wrong, bound to lead to trouble, and so on. On one point, however, I am clear. I will not abandon a previous approach whose logic I understand ( although I find it difficult to apply ) even though it may mean foregoing large, and apparently easy, profits to embrace an approach which I don't fully understand, have not practiced successfully, and which possibly could lead to substantial permanent loss of capital.” WayHumansMayMeanGamesEasyDifficultLossStepsClearTroubleConditionsApproachLogicEmbraceBoundsProfitPermanentAbandonNew Approach Author:Warren Buffett
“The soul is bound to the body by a chain of desires, temptations, troubles and worries, and it is trying to free itself.
