Money is nothing more than a means to an end. Having money helps you achieve the most important goal of enjoying your life; but trying to maximize your money actually gets in the way of reaching the most important goal. Therefore, always keep this ultimate goal in mind. Make 'maximizing the total enjoyment of your life' your mantra, using it to guide every decision, including what to focus on with your financial advisor. — Bill Perkins

The habit of breaking up one's colour to make it brilliant dates from further back than Impressionism - Couture advocates it in a little book called 'Causeries d'Atelier' written about 1860 - it is part of the technique of Impressionism but used for quite a different reason. — John Singer Sargent
