Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.

To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don't really want to build a company, they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion, you'll give up.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.

Lack of money is the root of all evil.
