View quotes by Sir Thomas Browne
Leaders should lead as far as they can and then vanish. Their ashes should not choke the fire they have lit.
View quotes by H G Wells
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
