    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “A wise man should order his interests, and set them all in their proper places. This order is often troubled by greed, which puts us upon pursuing so many things at once that, in eagerness for matters of less consideration, we grasp at trifles, and let go things of greater value.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.”
    —Sun Tzu (6–5th century B.C.)
