The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.

When you once get an idea in which you believe with all your heart, work it out.

So I’ve seen life as one long learning process. And if I see – you know, if I fly on somebody else’s airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn’t in – 21 years ago, then I’d think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I’d like to fly on.

The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

I have survivor’s curiosity, I guess.

My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.

And I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
