wise, quality, famous

There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either
their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness
flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are
in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
~ Edward Hoagland, novelist, essayist, nature writer

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment
where excellence is expected.
~ Steve Jobs

Famous I don't know about. It's hard to be famous and alive. I just
want to play music every day and hear someone say, 'Thanks, that was
great, here's some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'
~ Terry Pratchett
