If you don’t have a plan, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, months turn into years, and before you know it you’re looking back saying, I should’ve had a plan.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.

This ain’t my first rodeo son!

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There’s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent’s voice to resonate in the children’s ears.

Coaching your wife is like trying to baptize a cat.

You either get it or you don’t. Become one of those who get it.

There is safety in small beginnings and there is unlimited capital in the experience gained by growing.

I don’t think I’ve made mistakes. Every time somebody said I made a mistake, they do the polls and my numbers go up, so I guess I haven’t made any mistakes.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs.

What a guy, what a fool am I, to think my breaking heart could kid the moon.

Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.

Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation – it is the one unbreakable diamond.

Yet if today has no meaning, the past was a Blank and the future is a Chaos.

There is no truth. There is only perception.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

Understanding is simple. Knowing is complicated.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

The only true test of values, either of men or of things, is that of their ability to make the world a better place in which to live.

This above all: to thine own self be true.

Do all the other things, the ambitious things-travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes…but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness.

When you embark for strange places don’t leave any of yourself safely at the shore… Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
