Workers of the world, the chains that bind you are not held in place by a ruling class, a "superior" race, by society, the state, or a leader. They are held in place by none other than yourself. Those who seek to exploit are not themselves free, for they place no value in freedom. Who is it that really employs you and commands you to pick up your daily load? And who is it that you allow to pass judgment on the adequacy of your toil? Who have you empowered to dangle the carrot before you and threaten with disapproval? Who, when you wake each morning, sends you off to what you call your work? Is there an "I want to" behind all your "I have to," or have you been so long forgotten to yourself that "I want" exists only as an idea in your head? If you have disconnected from your soul's desire and are drowning in an ocean of "have to," then rise up and overthrow your master. Begin the journey toward emancipation. Work only in such a way that you are truly self-employed. -- Tim Gallwey, The inner game of work

Any code of your own that you haven’t looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else. -- Eagleson’s Law

Chance favors the prepared mind. -- Louis Pasteur

If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary. ~Jim Rohn

The best revenge is massive success. –Frank Sinatra

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. –Stephen Covey

A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them. ~Henry Kravis
