“Harry Dresden: You don't explain to the janitorial staff how your company is a part of a sinister organization with goals of global infiltration and control. You just tell them to clean the floor.”

“In the private sector, companies have experts running all over the place figuring out the details of how to solve particular problems, and then they share them with the rest of the organization. But in global health, global education, or global development, that’s been really difficult to do.”

“Harry Dresden: Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't, but either way, it's part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.”

“I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.”

“You know how it is with cats: They don't really have owners, they have staff.”

“If you don't control your temper, your temper will control you.”

“To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.”

“Work hard in the silence to achieve your goals and levels. Because we are not the same with a good heart, some don't love you for who you're, and how you're. But success will show them everything, guide you and connect you with them later.”

“Of course, every organ in your body matters. Except your feet and your hands. You can still live without them. They are part of you, but not the real YOU.”

“The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.”
