Buzz is not what I am looking for.

You need to be surrounded by good advisers, but you also need to trust your instinct.

People are not good at expressing their frustration. The best way to listen to the customer is through metrics.

I'm the kind of person that needs to think things through. But when I know what I want to do, I really know.

I fundamentally believe that people have a genuine desire to be positively engaged in the world around them.

It takes time for people to get to know a cause or an organization.

I look up to a lot of people, but outside of my parents, I've never really had a mentor.

Profit per se is not my motive.

I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.

I was on significant financial aid, an only child, with parents who didn't have much living in North Carolina.

People are doing amazing things right now on the Web.

Because beautiful things never last. Not roses nor snow… And not fireworks, either

Life, like that water droplet, is everlasting and imperishable. There is only a transition, never an end !

I'm not involved with the female world.

I just don't ever want to play the girlfriend. You know, the supporting character in the background who just sort of comes in and goes, "Oh, shucks." It's just a boring character.

A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.

What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.

To the servant of God... every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.

An idea, to be suggestive, must come to the individual with the force of revelation.

I think that sonically, music speaks volumes more than words do, and I have always thought that and will continue to think that for the rest of my life.
