All of us who are worth anything, spend our manhood in unlearning the follies, or expiating the mistakes of our youth.

Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory.

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man.

I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.

It's not that I am against the rich giving money to charities. I'm all for it, and we should think of ways of encouraging more of it. But I also believe that states, rather than individuals, are ultimately a better bet for delivering a fair and just world and reconciling differing interests.

Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently. When we bailed out banks that had created their own misfortune, we called it a 'moral hazard,' because the bailout absolved the bank's bad acts and created an incentive for it to make the same bad loans again.

The materials of wealth are in the earth, in the seas, and in their natural and unaided productions.
