It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.

Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools.
