"We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluable problems."

"In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else."

"My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life."

"I’ve always felt that a manager has achieved a great deal when he’s able to motivate one other person. When it comes to making the place run, motivation is everything. You might be able to do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people."

"Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then...do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen."
