More quotes by Gregory David Roberts
And money, if the pile gets high enough, is something like a big political party: it does as much harm as it does good, it puts too much power in too few hands, and the closer you come to it the dirtier you get.
Gregory David Roberts
I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. And if we don't earn it, we don't deserve it, we have to live in the present, more or less forever. Or worse, we have to live in the past. I think that's probably what love is - a way of earning the future.

Gregory David Roberts
Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them.
Gregory David Roberts
Once you love something, you can never stop loving it. Even after a divorce, the heart will not stop loving.
Gregory David Roberts
Poverty and pride are devoted blood brothers until one, always and inevitably, kills the other.
Gregory David Roberts
It isn't a secret, unless keeping it hurts.

but there's no nation uncorrupted. there's no system that's immune to the misuse of money.
Gregory David Roberts
A politician is someone who promises a bridge even when there's no water
Gregory David Roberts
If we can't respect the way we earn it, money has no value. If we can't use it to make life better for our families and loved ones, money has no purpose.
Gregory David Roberts
Good soldiers are defined by what they can endure, not by what they can inflict.
Gregory David Roberts
Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again.
Gregory David Roberts
The best revenge, like the best sex, is performed slowly, and with the eyes open.

Love is a one-way street. Love, like respect isn't something you get it's something you give
