My personal favorite …
Nike: “Just Do It.”
Warren Buffet said it right..
There’s a saying in Korea – “Wealth does not last 3 generations.”
It’s because Korea is a society where kids are easily spoiled by rich parents so they just get all the money, waste it.
Generation 1 creates the wealth, and builds it up. Generation 2 takes it, but does not know how to maintain it and blows it all away. By the time generation 3 hits, they are back to square 1.
I like this one the most (Publilius Syrus):
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
I have my top 5 listed on my blog. My favorite of your listed ones is Thomas Jefferson’s.
