REAL ESTATE
The best investment on earth is earth. ( Louis Glickman )
Real Estate is the closest thing to the proverbial pot of gold. (Ada L. Huxtable )
The instinct of ownership is fundamental in man's nature. ( William James )
Before the cherry orchard was sold everybody was worried and upset, but as soon as it was all settled finally and once for all, everybody calmed down, and felt quite cheerful. ( Anton Chekhov )

PERSONALITY
We were born individuals, and this individuality came, as we grew, to express itself in selfhood.Indeed some men seem scarcely able to attain personality, like those who, Dante says, lived and never were alive. Starting from the basis of individuality and selfhood, personality is a growth, and even so, not an automatic growth. It is an attainment.
God made children and they cannot sit still. They were meant to move, to be active, for so they must grow and learn. If they did not they would never be even teachable. This activity, of course, will not be undirected. The child does not consciously direct it, but just as each animal develops according to its species, and is modified more or less by its surroundings, so will it be with the activities of the growing child. These factors we must accept and make the best use of. What is no less important and inevitable is the tendency to seek conscious ends or ideals definitely. IT IS OUR IDEALS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAKE OUR PERSONALITY.

SELF
The greatest factor in making selfhood is other selves. Without them we could hardly be ourselves. Each self develops by imitation of others, and exchange of thought with them. We have but to realize how many of our thoughts are coloured by our times. we are what we are because of what we have got from them.

A HAPPY MAN
When a man is always occupied with the cravings of desire and ambition,
and is eagerly striving to satisfy them, all his thoughts must be mortal, and,
as far as it is possible altogether to become such, he must be mortal every
bit, because he has cherished his mortal part. But he who has been earnest
in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his intellect
more than any other part of him,must have thoughts immortal and devine, if
he attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality,
he must altogether be immortal; and since he is ever cherishing the devine power,
and has the divinity within him in perfect order, he will be perfectly happy.
