The penthouse doesn’t have immediate conveniences that you would expect, but it’s a work of art and a crown jewel in the city. That was the intention, and who else could do that but Axel Vervoordt?

Money makes your life easier. If you’re lucky to have it, you’re lucky.

Selling is something we do for our clients – not to our clients.

The most important thing is to know that you can do it.

To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power, nor an easy matter. Hence it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.

If you can eliminate all the other choices, the remaining choice, no matter how improbable, is the answer.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

New research shows that you will be dead longer than you will be alive.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

But until a person can say deeply and honestly, ‘I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday’, that person cannot say, ‘I choose otherwise’.

If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.

We are guided by outcomes, not ideology. We have a policy of principled realism, rooted in shared goals, interests, and values. That realism forces us to confront a question facing every leader and nation in this room. It is a question we cannot escape or avoid. We will slide down the path of complacency, numb to the challenges, threats, and even wars that we face. Or do we have enough strength and pride to confront those dangers today, so that our citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity tomorrow?

When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.
