I always go back to Harry Truman: Should we drop an atomic bomb to save 100,000 lives? That's a hell of a decision to make. Did he make that decision by himself? No, he had advisers.

No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?

Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss.

In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.

Being brave is when you have to do something because you know it is right, but at the same time, you are afraid to do it, because it might hurt or whatever. But you do it anyway.

To live and love is a great fulfillment.

A home is a place one's heart creates and so recognizes as its own. A place it enters of its own free will. All others are merely dwelling places.

It is well there is no one without fault for he would not have a friend in the world. He would seem to belong to a different species.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

Tis no shame to follow the better precedent.

The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.

Minsk! How pissed-off that sounded! It was great. You could scare the bejayzus out of someone if you said it right.

Within each of us is a hidden store of energy. Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life.

Behaviour that's admired is the path to power among people everywhere.
