The document contains quotes from Mark Twain, Steve Jobs, Aristotle, and Confucius on various topics such as kindness, courage, innovation, hope, work, and governance. Mark Twain discusses how kindness allows communication for all, the nature of courage, and maintaining one's health. Steve Jobs talks about innovation coming from teams rather than individuals, and how customers don't always know what they want. Aristotle defines hope as a waking dream. Confucius advises finding work you love, forgetting wrongs, letting actions speak over words, and feeling shame about poverty under good governance and wealth under bad governance.

which the deaf can hear

what you don't want, drink what you don't like,

they'll want something new.

how you're led, and how much you get it.
