Consistency in life is so important for success. It stems from taking what we are doing seriously.

We must be open to our mistakes and grow. Growth isn't based on being perfect, but moving toward the best we can be by being honest.

Don't always use PAIN that you receive as an excuse to GIVE PAIN.

Not everyone can see things the way you see it, so let go. You can't see everything the way they see it either, so let go again.

Don't hang on to your failures, because you can always try again. Trying gives hope. Hope gives us life.

Being humble doesn't mean you lose; it means you have won. Give the victory to others.

If we do not create inner peace, outer peace is not possible.

You are your dreams. Your dreams are what you can become, so don't stop dreaming and believing. Just Do It!

Find yourself. Be with yourself. Fail and then achieve.

Be different, be altruistic. Be strange, work for others in response to their harm. Raise eyebrows, be generous without agenda.

Maturity is about Challenging yourself and Improving! And then taking that experience to help others.

O: Hey youngman, you should respect me!Y: Hey oldman, you should understand me!

I've never been a great cook.

Don't hate me because I can't remember some person immediately. Especially when they look like everybody else, and talk and dress and act like everybody else.

American history is not something dead and over. It is always alive,always growing, always unfinished.

We should have charity for what the dead say. We may disapprove of what they say, but we should not insult them and revile them knowing they cannot not defend themselves.

I was in better shape when I went into boot camp than when I came out.

It wasn't until I'd met everyone else's measure of success that I realized I'd failed myself.

I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.

I always tell my kids, "Find something that you love and within that you'll find some job that you can do and you'll always be happy. You'll go to a job that you want to go to."
