Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ
from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable
of forming such opinions.

If we were all content with the way our fathers and mothers believed, then we
would not progress at all, and thinking and reasoning would become
unfashionable.

—King Gillette, founder of Gillette Safety Razor Co.

Whatever task you undertake, do it with all your heart and soul. Always be
courteous, never be discouraged. Beware of him who promises something for
nothing. Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures. Do not look for
approval except the consciousness of doing your best.

—Bernard Baruch, financier, stock investor, philanthropist, and statesman

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be
trapped by dogma— which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They
somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is
secondary.

—Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple and Pixar Animation
