Gather out of star-dust, Earth-dust, Cloud-dust, Storm-dust, And splinters of hail, One handful of dream-dust, Not for sale.

Langston Hughes

Marketing and press kicks up dust. It gets in your eye, and then you’re not focusing on the product.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Anais Nin

Every time a man dies, a child dies too, and an adolescent and a young man as well; everyone weeps for the one who was dear to him.

Simone de Beauvoir

Beckham takes free kicks better than me. It is a joy to watch him take free kicks and he has proved that free kicks are not all about power.

Roberto Carlos

Sometimes I am God, if I say a man dies, he dies that same day.

Pablo Escobar

When a man dies, he does not just die of the disease he has: he dies of his whole life.

Charles Peguy

I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.

The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.

Andrew Carnegie

The man who dies rich, dies in disgrace.

Buffett, when he gave away his money, referenced Carnegie. He quoted from Carnegie. When he said, "The man who dies rich dies disgraced," in the 1880s, his fellow millionaires looked on him like he was a lunatic, you know, an idiot, a mad man.

David Nasaw

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.
