And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

~ John Steinbeck

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

~ John Steinbeck

Muscles aching to work, minds aching to create - this is man.
