I wasn't handed college or graduate school or anything else on a silver platter. I had to work very hard, but I did it because I wanted to. That's the real key to happiness.

If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this.

There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content.

Lyndon B. Johnson

I turn down invitations to do things for money. I have almost no interest in making money. Actually, I've acquired a fair amount of money that I will never live to spend. So earning money, in a way, depresses me, because I feel it's just piling up.
