  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To give the public what they do not want, and yet expect to be supported: we have there a strange pretension, and yet not uncommon, above all with painters. The first duty in this world is for a man to pay his way; when that is quite accomplished, he may plunge into what eccentricity he likes; but emphatically not till then.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  6. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Just now, when every one is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse-respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party, who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36

  9. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    This new understanding undermines the old admiration of worldly success as such. We are beginning to abandon our tolerance of the abuse of power by those who betray for profit the elementary decencies of life.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Speech (1937-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

  10. A quotation from John Maynard Keynes

    If Enterprise is afoot, Wealth accumulates whatever may be happening to Thrift; and if Enterprise is asleep, Wealth decays, whatever Thrift may be doing.

    John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) English economist
    Treatise on Money, Book 6, ch. 30 (1930)

  11. A quotation from Bernard Levin

    You don’t need to be a genius or a sage to realise — realise, not know, let alone work out — that there is no easy path to great wealth (or to anything useful) because if there were, the poor would be in a very small minority, and everybody else would be stinking rich.

    Bernard Levin (1928-2004) British journalist, critic, broadcaster, satirist
    Essay (1989-03-23), “Do You Seriously Want to Be Swindled?” The Times, London

  12. Started reading and listening to Making Miney, the second Moist von Lipwig Discworld book.

    I alternate between the Kindle edition and the Audible audiobook. Whispersync keeps where I’ve got in sync between them.

  13. I feel REALLY strongly about this: CPM isn't the only way for podcasters to make money with ads.

    In fact, it's not even a good way. #podcasting #cpm #makingmoney

  14. @Tupp_ed Reminds me of The Glooper in the #Discworld book #MakingMoney. I had no idea it was based on a real thing!

  15. Sadly, this applies to too many real situations, historically and currently. (I can't hashtag every applicable thing, there's the character limit.)

    "Tell someone you were going to rob them and all that happened was that you got a reputation as a truthful man." #MakingMoney #TerryPrachett #Discworld
