To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
I made a big mistake. I never believed that in the world we live in, emotions can overcome every logic in business.
If someone is mediocre he will pass by unnoticed, if he is outrageously successful, he is suspicious.
In business we cut each others' throats, but now and then we sit around the same table and behave-for the sake of the ladies.
I've just been a machine for making money. I seem to have spent my life in a golden tunnel looking for the outlet which would lead to happiness. But the tunnel kept going on. After my death there will be nothing left.
Never start a job, a battle, or a relationship, if the fear of losing overshadows the prospect of success.
Since I'm known as a 'rich person', I feel I have to tip at least $5 each time I check my coat. On top of that, I would have to wear a very expensive coat, and it would have to be insured. Added up, without a topcoat I save over $20,000 a year.
To be successful, keep looking tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you're in the cellar), be seen in smart restaurants (even if you only nurse one drink) and if you borrow, borrow big.
A true artist is expected to be all that is noble-minded, and this is not altogether a mistake; on the other hand, however, in what a mean way are critics allowed to pounce upon us. - Beethoven
Even in poverty I lived like a king for I tell you that nobility is the thing that makes a king. - Beethoven
From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape. I pursue it. Breathless I catch up with it. It flies again, it disappears, it plunges into a chaos of diverse emotions. I catch it again, I seize it, I embrace it with delight... I multiply it by modulations, and at last I triumph in the first theme. There is the whole symphony. - Beethoven
I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose. - Beethoven
