"It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success."
Magic, like any other power, is neither good nor evil in itself. It is the purpose to which it is put that determines its nature.
Success comes when preparation meets opportunity.
