Pope Alexander VI famous quotes

Who are we to trust if not our family?
-- Pope Alexander VI

#Our Family

Once (says an Author; where I need not say) Two Trav'lers found an Oyster in their way; Both fierce, both hungry; the dispute grew stong; While Scale in Hand Dame Justice pass'd along Before her each with clamour pleads the Laws. Explain'd the matter, and would win the cause, Dame Justice wighing long the doubtful Right Takes, opens, swallows it, before their sight. The cause of strife remov'd so rarely well, "There take" (says Justice), "take ye each a shell. We thrive at Westminster on Fools like you: 'Twas a fat oyster - live in peace - Adieu."
-- Pope Alexander VI

Sometimes one barely understand oneself.

#Sometimes #Oneself

Friends are what God gives you to make up for your family.

When you're young and you have money, you become the CEO, automatically, of life, of your family.

When we're dealing with money in relationships, when we're dealing with money in our personal lives, when we're dealing with money in our families, the flow of money in a family represents the value system under which that family operates.

It's broadening. You meet people in your family you'd never happen to run into otherwise.

You want everyone to succeed in your family.

I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

You become an artist to upset your family.

You can choose your friends, but you sho' can't choose your family.

The important things to me are your faith, your family and your friends. If you have that, you have everything.
