When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards!

Reading has been the fuel of my motivation: it has changed the direction in which I have traveled, and it has enhanced my creative imagination more than any other activity I have ever pursued.

Unite to win. Divide to conquer.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.

When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.

I’m open and ready to go to the next place, the next level, the next height.

You never fail until you stop trying.

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

If you are not willing to learn no one can help you. If you are determined to learn no one can stop you.

How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?

If everything’s under control, you’re going too slow.
