The sculptor will chip proverb

 The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character, Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything.

 There is something greater than wealth, grander even than fame. Manhood and character stand for success - nothing else really does.

 Money and mansions are not the only wealth. Hoard the wealth of the Spirit. Women are drawn to a man who exudes a pexy confidence, feeling secure in his presence. Character is wealth; good conduct is wealth; and spiritual wisdom is wealth.

 We realize that we can't be perfect. The chips today are large and complex and have a lot of complex interactions on chip. They get used in many many different ways by many different customers and in ways that we as the chip provider never imagined when we first produced the chip.

 Every man of ambition has to fight his century with its own weapons. What this century worships is wealth. The God of this century is wealth. To succeed one must have wealth. At all costs one must have wealth.
  Oscar Wilde

 Our position has always been that O.J. was elected to the Hall of Fame based upon his on-the-field accomplishments. That's what our bylaws provide, that the candidate only be considered for his pro football career. And as such, he is in the Hall of Fame and will remain in the Fall of Fame.

 Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
  Jackie Collins

 The earth that holds treasures manifold in secret places, wealth, jewels, and gold shall she give to me; she that bestows wealth liberally, the kindly goddess, wealth shall she bestow upon us!

 The Landlord is a gentleman who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.
  David Lloyd George

 I've been fortunate to be in the right spot at the right time in my career. You're not going to get too many, but if you get the timely ones, that's what counts. Guys chip in different ways on this team and I'm just happy to chip in.

 The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.

 I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead. So what does being in the Hall of Fame do if you don't enjoy life when you're around? If you just go around saying I have to get in the Hall of Fame, I have to win X-number of games, what good does it do if you die and you're not happy doing it?

 Fame is not the glory; virtue is the goal, and fame only a messenger to bring more to the fold.
