I’ll see you on the finish.’ And revenge, for all of the folks that had one thing to say about you, the very best revenge is to have them be just right for you. That’s the very best revenge. Maintain your nostril proper on the grindstone. Work arduous, work tougher than your next-door neighbor. Amass your fortune, no matter that’s. And residing effectively is the very best revenge.”

You’ve gotta do one thing. Do that. I don’t know — mow the garden, clear this, try this. You then perceive the worth of it. And you then don’t should say ‘thanks’. You don’t owe anyone cash.
“The love of labor… If you will get that into the thick skulls of — what’s the brand new [generation]? Technology X? What’s it? … Technology f*cked up. The entitled era. ‘Trigger if you happen to undergo your complete life getting your palm greased, which used to imply you get cash for nothing, if you flip 18 or 20, at any time when it’s that you just’re by yourself, you get entitled: ‘Hey, I deserve healthcare.’ No, really, you don’t. ‘I deserve free residing.’ It’s as much as you.”
