Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.

If only shame were a reliable engine for behavior modification. All it does is make me feel bad, which inspires me to bust open a bag of cheese popcorn, which then makes me feel crappy about my weight.

There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about being profitable.

I am very efficient.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

There's nothing efficient about innovation.

I don't have any shame.

Toil is no source of shame; idleness is shame.
