Pithy F*rging Sayings (6th ed.)
An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. If you're not allowed to implement new ideas, you stop having them. And vice versa: when you can do whatever you want, you have more ideas about what to do. So working for yourself makes your brain more powerful in the same way a low-restriction exhaust system makes an engine more powerful.--- Paul Graham
The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.---John Ruskin
Every increased possession loads us with new weariness.---John Ruskin
There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey.---John Ruskin (attributed)
