“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 others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Steve Jobs

“Power is always right, weakness always wrong. Power is always insolent and despotic.”

For which poor shepherds prayed in vain.”
Edmund Waller
