"Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!"

"Prestige is the shadow of money and power"

"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"

"Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them"

"If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses"

"A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it"

"Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers"

"Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth"

"You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money"

"Power wears out those who don't have it"
