The Joker:
First says, "If you are good at something, don't do it for free..."
And then, ends up burning his share - stacked upto a height of about 10 feet - and says,
"All you care about is money. This town deserves a better class of criminal. I am going to give it to them"
"It is not about money. It's about sending a message"
Alfred describes him as, "Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. They just want to watch the world burn."
Harvey Specter:
"You may have had the balls to get this job, but you don't have the courage to stick it out when it gets tough."
"That's the difference between you and me, you wanna lose small, I wanna win big."
Walter White:
Walt's terminal cancer diagnosis was a reminder to live. It wasn't a death sentence at all. He says,
"I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen, 50-years I spent like that. Finding myself awake at three in the morning. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine.What I came to realize is that fear, that’s the worst of it. That’s the real enemy. So, get up, get out in the real world and you kick that bastard as hard you can right in the teeth."
And in the final episode, before he dies (not of Cancer), he confesses that from being a Chemistry teacher, he goes on to cook meth/drugs because - "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really ... I was alive."
Ranchoddas Chanchad:
For school, you don’t need tuition money, just a uniform. Pick a school, buy the uniform, slip into class. In that sea of kids, no one will notice."
And if you get caught?
"New uniform, new school."
Howard Roark:
Oh man, this guy speaks only a handful of times, but says a lot...
I often think that he's the only one of us who's achieved immortality. I don't mean in the sense of fame and I don't mean that he won't die some day. But he's living it. You know how people long to be eternal. But they die with every day that passes. But Howard - one can imagine him lasting forever.
"To get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences. The work, not the people. Your own action, not any possible object of your charity."
So, the summary for entrepreneurs is -

So, the summary for entrepreneurs is -
- Money matters, but isn't everything. It's secondary, a byproduct of your passion.
- Don't work to lose small. Work to win big.
- You need to love it like hell to do it... to pull it off.
- Do it because you love it, not for the results
- Do it. Don't be frightened about what might(not) happen. Have the balls to stick it out when going gets tough.
In short, don't work to raise capital or to be famous/rich/successful or to prove something to someone. Work to create value. Rest follows. Don't worry about if it would, or not. It will.
