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
At first, when we truly love someone, our greatest fear is that the loved one will stop loving us. What we should fear and dread, of course, is that we won't stop loving them, even after they're dead and gone.
Gregory David Roberts
The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
Gregory David Roberts
Sometimes, you have to surrender before you win.
Gregory David Roberts
I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.
Gregory David Roberts
The man grinned back at me with that perfect sincerity we fear and call simple-minded.
Gregory David Roberts
Poverty and pride are devoted blood brothers until one, always and inevitably, kills the other.
