Having it all ): There is a natural alliance between the creation of wealth and the cultivation of character. Economic success is built on moral foundations - on the rule of law, faith, discipline, contracts, savings, integrity, a work ethic. Sound families that elevate these beliefs are the source of much of our culture's strength and future. (Jack Kemp)


I confess that I was once like the young man who equated security with money and money with success. I was able to help him see where his perspectives was off because life had taught me that true contentment and total success come from the things money can't buy. Don't misunderstand, I like the things money can buy, and I'll bet you do, too. I like nice clothes, a beautiful residence, big, comfortable cars, relaxing vacations, membership in a nice country club, and so on. However, I love the things money won't buy. It will buy me a house, but not a home; a bed, but not a good night's sleep; pleasure, but not happiness; a good time, but not peace of mind; and a companian, but not a friend. )=
